Connects Network at Keele - Session 3 - January 2026

Connects Network is a not-for-profit organisation offering relaxed, informal networking opportunities, facilitated by a group of local business owners from across Staffordshire. Passionate about bringing people together, they champion the positive aspects of their communities.

In preparation for the Shaping the Future Business Festival 2026, Connects Network is partnering with Newcastle-under-Lyme Borough Council, supported by the UK Shared Prosperity Fund (UKSPF) and Keele University, to host another large-scale session at the Denise Coates Foundation Building on Keele’s campus.

The session will feature breakout presentations and panels around the themes of employment and entrepreneurs. After each session you'll be able to ask questions, and chat with fellow attendees before grabbing some refreshments and moving on to the next session.

Lunch & Networking

At midday, we'll finish for lunch when you can digest what you've learned along with complementary refreshments and food, and get chatting to fellow entrepreneurs, business and organisations from the area!
