"Really, really useful." Kathryn de Motte

"I picked up a couple of jobs from the last meeting so it more than paid for itself."Jane Hawksworth, Yellow Duck Creative

How have women described past Café Moneta events?

"Formally informal"
"New faces - 'just right' numbers"
"The structure was well thought through"
"Meeting people I'd heard of but never met before"
"A positive atmosphere, friendly and intimate"
"Useful in getting people to talk about their business in different ways"
"Not just very useful but very enjoyable too"
"An event that 'thinks outside the box'"

There are some real benefits to booking early:

Inclusion on the delegate list which will be circulated to attendees before the event - 73% of networkers at the last event really appreciated this but if I don't know you're coming, I can't put you on the list;
A listing on this web site, complete with a link to your web site(good for search engines);
The chance to let me know what sort of business women you'd like to meet and the chance for me to try and rustle them up for you (no promises, though).

So if you want to make the most of this new network, book online or download the booking form and claim your place today.

An event that 'thinks outside the box'

Date: 20th January 2009

Come and join us at Nottingham's loveliest venue for the very first meeting of Café Moneta - the new Nottingham Women's Business Forum where the networking is all about you.

Everything about this event is geared towards getting great value for money for your business, from finding people and information to solve your problems, to the chance to blow your own trumpet about your business successes.

And as for the Café Moneta Challenge... I'm not giving details away at this point - suffice it to say that it would be a good idea to make sure you meet someone brand new early on in the proceedings...

We'll be providing refreshments and canapés and a little something tasty to celebrate with. And the bar will be open for you to purchase other drinks for if you've had the kind of day that means you owe it to yourself!

Early booking is advised - not only to make sure you secure your place (places are limited, the venue is brilliant in many ways but it doesn't have elastic walls) but also to make sure that I can circulate a full delegate list before the event so you'll know exactly who you can meet.

I'll also be name-checking attendees on this blog, complete with a link through to your own web site, which is always a nice little boost to help Google on its way to finding you.

This event is about making valuable business contacts - associates as well as customers - and there are women attending who especially want to talk with you if you:

Want to add value to your clients in HR;
Are in PR, advertising, design, print or web development;
Need to protect your business brand;
Are interested in marketing support;
Work with businesses where the staff's personal image is important.

About Cafe Moneta Business Forum

2008-10-31T08:06:00.000-07:00

Café Moneta will meet monthly in central Nottingham, combining focus with fun, in an environment where business women can create the opportunities and make the right connections to take their businesses where they want them to go.

What makes Café Moneta different to a typical networking event?

Well, for a start, it’s all about you. We won’t be putting on speakers or spending too much time talking at you. It’s your business and it’s your networking; it’s our job to help you make the most of it.

We want everyone who attends to get real value for money, with activities that ensure your networking is as productive as it can be. We can't give away too much detail at this stage but a Cafe Moneta event will include:

Round Table Problem Solving

The Café Moneta Challenge

Let’s Celebrate
