Following a Business Link conference in February 2010, many of the women that attended were inspired to keep in contact and build on the networking which took place that day.
Melanie Berenblut set the ball rolling by posing the question on LinkedIn "Would anyone like to network following the conference"? And what a response!
The first meeting took place with approximately 12 women in attendance, with no set venue (although we found a great place at St Pancras), no set agenda, simply an opportunity to meet with fellow business owners to share ideas, collaborate and generally have a good evening whilst gaining something, be it business, learning or friendship. From this small beginning, the group has grown with now well over 100 women expressing interest in attending the networking event.
Dawn Gomes came on board to run the group with Melanie, and they now plan to host monthly events with interesting speakers and opportunities for guests to present their businesses.
If you're interested in attending, just email us at londonwmb@googlemail.com.
We look forward to seeing you soon!
