Connecting for Business - 4 February 2010

Put the 4th February in your diary now so you don't miss this event.  Held at 1000 Lakeside (the old IBM building on the A27 at Portsmouth North Harbour),  this is an event full of opportunities to connect with Exhibitors and Visitors alike.  Our Keynote Speaker is Ian Dickson who will be delivering some thought provoking material about taking your business forward.  You can get your free corporate image with Mike French of Meonshore Studios' Commercial Division, put your details on the Networking Wall, make new connections for business during our Networking Sessions, or simply take up residence in the Networking Café - and whatever you do, don't miss the opportunity to visit our Exhibitors.

The event will be free to attend, but we are delighted that Help for Heroes will be represented at this event and you will be asked to make a donation (to a value of your own choice) to this very worthwhile cause.  Every penny counts so please be as generous as you can.
