Ready to Network? Connections are the aim of the game for many! Make sure that your LinkedIn profile is fully up to date, or that you've brought your business cards, so you can keep track of the valuable connections you will make across the day. We like to use the QR code feature on LinkedIn which makes it quick and easy to connect and then search for your connections based on date connected. If you don't know how this works, check it out here.
Coming Solo? If you are coming to the Better Business Summit by yourself - don't worry! We’ve created a Buddy System too for anyone who might feel anxious about attending alone, where we can pair you up with a friendly face on the day to make things easier! If you’d like to sign up to be a buddy or to have one, get in contact on aimee@betternotstop.com
Want to plan in advance? Make sure to take a good look at the schedule for the Conference Days so you can plan and tailor the content across the event to your tastes. We have a range of incredible speeches, workshops, catalyst conversations, keynote speeches and more for you to enjoy…
Need to reset throughout the day? There will be a dedicated quiet peace room clearly marked at the venue for anyone who needs a break, free companion tickets are available on request for carers, and a whole range of Impact Policies to reduce barriers to entry for the event, including a dedicated quiet area to enjoy your lunch if you need time to reset.
Want to get involved? As well as a packed exhibition zone, we have Reaction Collective showcasing their vision for the alternative High Street. Please bring any items of clothing or outdoor gear/equipment that you aren’t using or that need repairing as we’ll have some really cool circular economy stations operating on the day! Check out our blog here for more info!
Early Bird? There are a number of options happening that you can join! We have Breakfast Networking sessions on each morning of the Conference Days, kindly sponsored by our partners 1% For The Planet and Grain Sustainability! We’ve also got a Serotonin sponsored Run Club, and a guided walk with Keartland & Co, both on Thursday Morning!
Around in the evening? Join us at YES bar from 6pm, just round the corner from the University! Wednesday is sponsored by Tyler Grange, and Thursday will be jointly hosted as a People, Planet, Pint event. We’ll also have some special surprise DJs on the Thursday night so you can maximise your time here in Manchester 😎
Need some nature? Friday 17th Jan we have our Day in Nature Freshwalks Hike. We have chosen a more accessible route exploring the GM Ringway walking trail Stage 1 along an almost totally traffic-free and tranquil route from the city centre to the lush Mersey Valley, before finishing in a cosy winter pub for a vegan chilli buffet, all included in the price.
Want to help us? Spread the word by letting us know you're coming in advance! If you’ve spotted anyone you can’t wait to see speak or a workshop that you just know a client would love please do share it and encourage people to grab tickets and come down! You’re welcome to use any assets or copy in this folder and remember to use the hashtag #BBS25 your social media posts!
