Quite simply, Network 15 was established with the goal of providing an informal and relaxing environment for any Ripon (& surrounding area) based business people to meet, and do business with other like-minded business people.
To add a little variety, different event locations around Ripon are used, with the next venue being confirmed by pre-event email (please subscribe to the Network 15 eNewsletter to sign-up to our distribution list).
Each informal Network 15 networking event takes place from 6pm - 8pm and includes a brief Get to know you 60-second round-robin introductions. They also include a free to enter business card prize draw, and at most events, we organize a fun competition, for all to take part in. These range from quizzes, through to darts matches and even golf putting competitions! Were always open to ideas for event competitions.
Network 15 also holds Host-a-night events, where a business opts to host the event at their premises, with the opportunity to promote their products or services. This event format allows any Business Member to host and welcome the Network 15 group, and give a 10-minute presentation about their organisation. Hosts often organise an informal competition based on their business and provide special prizes for the winners.
Food and drink is available at most of our event venues, so our attendees can relax and recharge after a hard days work.
