Every magnate, tycoon and entrepreneur would agree on one thing: networking is one of the secrets to growing a successful business.
It grows your circle of contacts, keeps you in touch with trends in your market and helps you find new clients.
To acknowledge the importance of networking, one of the themes of Green Growth 2017 is collaboration. The event will bring together a community of green-minded business people from a range of sectors for a day of inspiring talks, thought-provoking workshops and great conversations.
The University of Brighton’s Green Growth Platform will host Green Growth 2017 on 23 February 2017, at Brighton’s Clarendon Centre.
09.00–16.30 (with a drinks reception until 17.30)
Clarendon Centre, New England Street, Brighton, BN1 4GQ
With inspirational speakers, business-focused workshops, locally sourced lunch, business stand zone, networking, refreshments and a post-event reception, early bird tickets are a bargain at £75.

Enjoy your networking at Green Growth 2017 over delicious food and drink that’s sustainably produced by Silo and Old Tree Brewery.
Silo is a nationally acclaimed restaurant in the heart of the North Laine. It uses local ingredients and creates its sumptuous food from scratch – even going as far as milling the flour for its sourdough bread. It’s a zero-waste business and any leftover food goes to the Real Junk Food Project or is composted.
Old Tree Brewery will be providing Bramley Apple Juice, Kombucha and Elderflower bubbly, all brewed in-house using local and foraged ingredients. It’s a social enterprise with a fantastic environmental ethos.
