About this Event

Riada Consultancy Presents: The Connect2Collab Forum


In Partnership with IWG and Spaces

The strongest businesses aren’t built in isolation—they are built through shared knowledge, strategic resilience, and the power of a trusted community.

The Connect2Collab Forum is our flagship platform designed for entrepreneurs, business owners, and professionals ready to expand their knowledge and connect with a community of like-minded peers.


The Vision

Whether you’re an industry veteran scaling a global team or a budding entrepreneur just starting out, this is your go-to space for growth. This isn’t just another networking event; it’s a high-value ecosystem designed to sharpen your edge in every area of modern business.

More than just tech. The Connect2Collab Forum isn't a technical seminar - it's a strategic summit. We bridge the gap between complex business functions and real-world growth, making high-level insights accessible to every entrepreneur, whether you're in retail, professional services, hospitality, or the creative industries.


Why You’ll Want to Be There:
  • Peer Connection: Build authentic relationships with fellow trailblazers who share your drive.
  • Actionable Knowledge: Move past theory with "Monday-morning-ready" strategies.
  • The Power of Collaboration: Find real opportunities for partnership and collective growth.

What’s in Store?

Join Georgine Anthony, a Privacy & Data Protection Specialist, for a session on Data & Business Resilience.

There is increasing digital risk and protecting your data is a cornerstone of business stability. We strip away the technical jargon to deliver a high-impact, 30-40 minute session on:

  • GDPR Quick Wins: Practical steps to ensure compliance without the headache.
  • Data Housekeeping: Simple habits to secure your reputation and your people.
  • Strategic Decision-Making: Reframing data to make faster, more confident leadership choices.

The Connections Mixer Following the session and Q&A, we transition into the heart of the forum. The Connections Mixer is a relaxed, unstructured space to meet your peers. With no rigid timers or forced scripts, it is a fluid environment where you are free to explore new ideas, share experiences, and find your next partner at your own pace.

Don’t just connect - collaborate. Be part of a community that grows together. Secure your spot today!
