Leeds Business Social
Back to Banksia!
No panels. No agenda. No selling.
Just a room full of people worth knowing.
The World is changing.
What hasn’t changed is how trust is built. That still happens face to face. Conversations. Introductions. Time spent together.
That’s what this is.
DJ on. Welcome drinks. Canapés.
You don’t pay to attend. Your time is the investment.
All YM members are welcome.
Why attend?
- Warm introductions
- Exposure to live growth plans and real business roadmaps.
- Conversations with capital, senior execs, other professionals, peers, VCs, corporate investors.
- Peer exchange on everything related to you business and career
- Cross-sector insight: startup, corporate, public sector in one room.
- Commercial opportunities – partnerships, pilots, procurement routes.
- Local intelligence on who is building what in the region.
- A concentrated room of elusive decision makers
- Next move/career opportunity
