The first of these is an exclusive Networking Breakfast sponsored by K College, to kick off the day making new contacts over morning coffee and a delicious hot breakfast. Joining the guests will be champion skier Graham Bell, International Performance Director for The Ski & Snowboard Federation and the face of BBC’s Ski Sunday, providing valuable advice on achieving excellence in the face of adversity.
At the end of the day, visitors can relax with drinks and hot food at the Kent 2020 Networking Reception: Celebrating Kent Business. This informal evening event includes a fascinating talk about bucking industry trends from Jonathan Neame, Chief Executive at award-winning brewers Shepherd Neame – providing some unique insights into using quality, choice and innovation to stay ahead of the competition.
To cover catering costs, there is a small fee for both of these events (£20 and £25 respectively) but this is a tiny investment for making even more high-quality business contacts on the day.
Places at both events can be booked by registering online at www.kent2020.co.uk and selecting one or both of these optional elements at the second stage of the registration process.
