2-in-1event
Conference
During the day, there will be a conference where you will hear from industry speakers on how to run your business more productively and efficiently. Also, you will learn about the latest business technology tools to assist in accomplishing the change. The conference includes lunch and non-alcoholic beverages.
Evening Event
In the evening, there will be a 3-course meal where you will have the opportunity to network with other successful garage business owners and key members of staff. It will be an opportunity to discuss what's been learnt during the day and other business-related topics.
Bonus - unofficial pre-event
As always, many attendees arrive at the conference the night before and meet up for a pint. If you are new to the community, this is a fantastic opportunity to break the ice and start networking.
