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 Dr Nikki Ramskill, Women's Health Specialist GP, who will be talking about: 'Brain fog and the impact it has in the workplace and on business'.
