Big Networking Night 2019

Summary:

Networking and international business - an event of two halves! Our premier event this year is themed 'Winning in a global business arena'. Learn lots of hints and tips from those who are already successfully operating around the world.

First half: a fun evening jampacked with opportunities, as a Solent region business owner - this is THE networking event of the year!

Second half: have you ever seen BBC's 'Question Time'?
