Stroud Business & Innovation Network - September Gathering
About this event
Welcome to our first SBIN event. We are very excited to welcome you and get to know you and what you are working on. Our business community events are designed to bring people together under a shared purpose, we all live and / or work in Stroud - and we want to grow our business and build strong connections. Just good people, useful conversations, shared ideas and a chance to help each other move things forward. The evening has a bit of shape to it — a fireside chat with Sound Records owner Tom Berry, a game designed to get you talking to people you'd never normally approach, and plenty of time to just see what happens. You might find a collaborator. Solve a problem. Learn something. Make a useful connection. You might just make a new friend. We've got big ambitions for a small town. Come and be part of our first event.

A fire side chat with a local business person who will explore a time when they failed and came back from the edge. This month Tom’s story goes way beyond the shop! He is a true Stroud champion, having been a governor of a local Secondary School, chaired the Chamber of Trade, Stroud allowed Tom to truly follow his passion and his contribution to our music & creative scene has been phenomenal.
