Start Up Bromley are delighted to hold regular FREE monthly events on the third Tuesday of each month in order to encourage members to promote their business to a wider audience.
Our Guest Speaker for this event will be Helen Manchip, who will be doing a short presentation on Using Instagram and TikTok for Businessfor about 30-40 minutes with time for Q & A’s.
Helen’s presentation will then be followed by an opportunity for each member to promote their business to those present. We normally allow around 60 seconds per presentation but this is not hard and fast, as we appreciate for some people speaking publicly can be nerve wracking whereas for others, they may have a lot more to share.
The meeting will end with some open networking, an opportunity to build connections and set up follow up meetings.
The networking events are held at Bromley Central Library, usually on the fourth floor where teas/ coffees will be available.
