Table Talk lunch time networking

August 10, 2015 By


We have 7 table talks each lunch break for those of you after some discussion with like-minded bloggers about topics of interest. These are hosted and moderated by attending brands and agencies. Get yourself some lunch and then find a seat at the talk you’re interested in. No need to book, although there are just 10 seats per table so if you’re keen, be quick! If you miss out, keep an eye on the tables and just grab a seat as they become available throughout the break and join in the discussion.

No need to feel shy – your host will make your feel welcome and you’re joining a group who have similar blog topics and interest as you.
