Forthcoming events for

and tech
businesses in Mansfield.
Forthcoming events for creative, digital and tech businesses in Nottingham, Mansfield, Derby, Lincoln & Leicester.
Let’s be honest - most networking events feel awkward. Forced intros, business cards, small talk that goes nowhere. This isn't that. Join Tamily Cookson, founder of COLLECTIVE. for a fresh take on connection curiosity & community.

This energising session dives into what makes real connection happen: trust, curiosity & genuine conversation.
We’ll explore how to grow a network that actually supports you & why the like–know–trust factor is still the most powerful marketing tool you’ll ever have.
Expect honest discussion, simple frameworks & a few surprises along the way. You’ll see how technology can amplify connection rather than replace it, & get hands-on with live collaboration moments designed to spark insight and interaction.
We’ll explore how to move beyond collecting contacts to building communities, how to nurture relationships that open doors & why showing up authentically is the real game changer.
This isn’t about who talks the most, or who hands out the most cards. It’s about who listens, who learns & who you can build with. It’s not what you know - it’s who, how & why. Book your spot now & start building relationships that matter.
