ACT Regional Networking Events

If you support people to start and run small businesses in your local area find out about a programme of networking events which aim to help you make connections and find out about local opportunities.

The NFEA (the national enterprise network) launched ACT - a new membership programme for individuals working within the enterprise sector in April 2009.  ACT provides a unique network for like-minded professionals who offer services such as advice, coaching, mentoring and training to those starting and running small businesses.

ACT membership offers members training and development, locally-based peer networking as well as national representation from NFEA – the only national business support association in the country.

A programme of regional networking events hosted by enterprise support organisations in each of the nine English regions will provide professionals across the sector with an opportunity to meet their peers, learn about local opportunities and debate current issues.

Confirmed roadshows will run as follows:

Each event will be held in the above locations from 16.30 to 19.00, with light refreshments. 

Enterprise support professionals who wish to book a place or obtain further details, can email bethan.roberts@nfea.com or telephone Beth on 01234 831623. A nominal charge for attendance at the events is required £10 for ACT members, £15 for non-members.
