Laptop Friday
Video: Martin Tucker
Co-working every Friday morning 9.30am – 12 noon at Smokey Joe’s café, Bennington Street GL50 4ED
Laptop Friday is an opportunity to meet local business people and work, swap ideas or network in a friendly atmosphere over a coffee. If you work from home and spend a lot of time on your own it's a chance to get out and about while still keeping an eye on those important emails and tweets. There are new people almost every week and everyone is welcome. Just come along between 9.30am and 12 noon and introduce yourself to our organisers Nigel Knowlman and Louise Jenner. For more information visit the Laptop Friday Facebook page or contact Nigel Knowlman. Please use the group as an online environment for co-working and collaboration e.g. sharing ideas, asking for business/tech help and making recommendations. We're all about co-working and networking so we encourage links to blog posts on co-working, networking, working from home and working in coffee shops. We're informal and friendly but we expect a level of professionalism from our members on and offline. Rude or inappropriate behaviour will not be tolerated. Laptop Friday is also on Twitter so please follow us there for event news plus co-working and networking tips. http://twitter.com/LaptopFriday Below: 8th Anniversary of Laptop Friday

The Cheltenham Connect Business Space
Shining a spotlight on business success in Cheltenham.
Connect Business Space 10th and 11th June 2020
The Cheltenham Connect Business Space is a new opportunity this year for sole traders and smaller local businesses, based in the Cheltenham area, to make connections with visitors to the Gloucestershire Business Show. This is an excellent opportunity for these companies to showcase their products and services, in what may be the first time they have exhibited on such a large county-wide scale.
Each Cheltenham Connect exhibitor also has the opportunity to host a short ‘Meet the Business’ session during the two days; presenting what they do and taking questions. Yet another way for visitors to learn about the full spectrum of Gloucestershire businesses. More details on the Cheltenham Connect website.
The Gloucestershire Business Show has now been running for 5 years, transferring successfully from the Racecourse to the Town Hall last year with more than 1600 visitors. As well as B2B exhibitors in the main hall, there are talks, live forums and headline speakers. The Cheltenham Connect Business Space is a pilot scheme, offered to us by the Gloucestershire Business Show and we are very thankful for their support and the opportunity that they are offering small businesses.
Apply for your priority place now to exhibit on 10th and 11th June
We are offering this opportunity as a priority to businesses who have previously exhibited at a Connect Business Day and to Cheltenham Connect supporters. For more information and to apply for a stand space please click here.
We will confirm the exhibiting businesses by the end of March. Once accepted, Gloucestershire Business Show will invoice and allocate businesses with a confirmed place.
