The Athena Network South Wales

Come and visit a vibrant group of women business owners and executives, make new exciting connections and take your business to the next level!

Hi! My name is Sharon Gaskin and I'm The Athena Network Regional Director for South Wales.

If you’re looking to connect with like-minded women in business, grow your network, and be part of a supportive community, this is the perfect opportunity to experience what Athena membership is all about—no pressure, just great conversations and meaningful connections.

You’ll meet inspiring businesswomen, hear valuable insights, and walk away with new connections that could support you in your journey. This is fantastic way to get a taster of what it's like to be part of the Athena Network membership.

This is an interactive networking event, offering you the opportunity to present your business to other attendees and meet inspiring businesswomen, hear valuable insights and walk away with new connections that could support you in your business journey.

The investment to attend this event is £30 and for that you will:

• Get the experience of what an Athena meeting is all about and what it's like to be part of the membership.
• Get an opportunity to secure a single seat for your profession (should you decide to join)
• Meet and network with other women business owners from across the network.
• You can represent and promote your business to professional women in the Swansea area.
• You will experience the wonderful vibe of the community (#1 women-only network in the UK).
• Get an opportunity to make an informed decision about joining an established network which is based on training/support/collaboration.
• You will receive a delegates list with contact details so you can connect on social media etc and take relationships forward beyond the meeting.
• This will give you the opportunity to get in on the ground floor of a new group in the area, giving you endless networking opportunities with women who are serious about their business.
• Your meeting fee will be reimbursed to you, should you decide to join the membership.

I would love to see you there!

Special Guest Speaker: This month we have the wonderful Katie Needle, Brand Photogrpaher, who will be taking us "From 'meh' to marvellous - how to take better selfies".

Katie will be sharing her key tips and techniques to take a better selfie of yourself, with your phone, that you can use in your next piece of content.

About Katie:

Katie has been photographing women for over 16 years and running her own freelance business since 2013.

Helping people feel more confident about themselves in photos and using those images to skyrocket their marketing is something Katie is truly passionate about. She aims to help business owners achieve this no matter where they are on their self employed journey and offers shared photo sessions, 1:1 photoshoots and selfie training in her business.

What to expect on the day:

Each meeting offers a unique opportunity to network and connect with fellow business owners and professionals in our local area.

We’ll have open networking in breakout rooms.

You’ll get a chance to showcase your amazing business through your virtual business card and the 'Athena Monthly Minute'. This is your chance to introduce yourself, share a little about your business, and most importantly, let us know how we can support you.

Each month we will have a guest speaker.

Whether you're seeking personal development, business growth opportunities, or valuable connections, Athena offers a platform designed to empower and support women in business.
