About this Event
Each RUN gathering is your space to further grow your people-first connections with professionals who believe in collaboration over competition.
Over 4,000 people in the South West love The RUN because:
No awkward pitches.
No hard sells.
Just genuine conversation, shared ideas, and practical support in a relaxed, welcoming environment.
What to expect:
– A warm, inclusive vibe, hosted by Laura Gorczyca and Zoe Schoon
– 1:1 conversations and group networking
– A presentation from a guest speaker sharing really useful information that you can actively use in your business.
We’re continuing our Buddy System to help you deepen connections and get the most from your network beyond the event.
We also proudly welcome supporters and charities aligned with our community values.
Whether you’re looking to grow your business, share what you know, or simply find a better kind of networking, RUN gatherings are for you.
Come as you are. Let’s build a community that puts people before pitches. We’d love you to be part of it.
