The Authentic Spark invites you to be Connected!

Connected! by The Authentic Spark is a relaxed, welcoming social event where you can meet new and different people, discover talents and services you didn’t know you needed, and find connections that will inspire you professionally and personally. It’s networking without the pressure!

Connected! sprang from The Authentic Spark’s first birthday party in 2017, which brought some of my connections together, along with some of their connections, to spend an evening enjoying good food, and great conversation.

What will we do?

There will be a buffet of wonderful food by Carluccio’s (all dietary requirements can be catered for if informed in advance). We’ll chat, share ideas. If you want to share business cards and network, that’s fine. There’s no structured ‘networking’, no elevator pitch or speeches required. Why not encourage one (or more) of your connections to come too? They might welcome the chance to make new connections too!

What could we create if we are all ‘Connected! by The Authentic Spark’?
