About this Event
TownsConnect™ Innovation Hours™
Join us for the first TownsConnect™ Innovation Hours™, a morning for local business owners, founders and professionals who want more from networking than a handful of business cards.
Everyone comes with two things: something your business needs, and something you can offer. A new supplier, a customer introduction, help with marketing or AI, a partner for a project, advice on a challenge you are facing. You share it, the room responds, and you leave knowing who can help.
WHAT YOU GET
- Introductions to local businesses that are relevant to what you need
- Online networking in TownsConnect live rooms, so you can join and meet people even if you cannot be there in person
- A chance to put your own services in front of people looking for them
- Access to local expertise and talent, from experienced professionals to skilled graduates
- A first look at TownsConnect, the local business network where the conversations carry on
HOW IT WORKS
When you book, tell us one thing you need and one thing you can offer. We will use your answers to make a few introductions on the day, so you arrive with people to meet.
ON THE MORNING
- Welcome and introductions
- A short look at the TownsConnect platform
- Sharing needs: a handful of businesses share what they are looking for, and the room, in person and online, says who can help
- Open networking, with coffee, in the room and in the TownsConnect live room
IN PERSON OR ONLINE
Come to Launchpad, or join from wherever you are. Online attendees watch the morning live, can share their own needs, and then join the in-person guests for networking in a TownsConnect live room, with video conversations, not just a chat box.
