Come to ConnectED for free friendly business networking
Looking to make genuine connections and grow your network in Edinburgh? Join us and connect with entrepreneurs, SMEs, consultants, agency owners, charities, professionals and corporate executives. We're a long-standing business networking group dedicated to fostering purposeful, friendly connections in a relaxed atmosphere.
We meet every Tuesday morning from 8:30am to 10:00am in 'The Library' at the Hotel Indigo, 20 Princes Street. The location is easily accessible by bus, tram, train or bike, as it's at the east end of Princes Street, directly across from the Waverley steps and escalators.
What to Expect
Forget the stuffy, formal networking scene. ConnectED is all about informality and building relationships. Our meetings are designed for you to connect with like-minded individuals, share ideas, and explore how you can help others and how they might help you.
Every few weeks, we also offer a unique opportunity for members to give a 10-minute talk on any topic they're passionate about. These talks are a chance to inform, entertain and inspire the group. Past topics have included:
- The issues of Artificial Intelligence
- Men's health and therapy
- Specialised photography
- Shattering the myths about accountancy
- A round-the-world cycling trip
Our agenda for the morning is simple and effective:
- 8:30 a.m. Mingle
- 9:00 a.m. Welcome & Round Robin
- 9:15 a.m. Talk or Discussion
- 9:45 a.m. Chat & Stay or Go
