Wednesday @ 6 Christmas Special
Taking place on Wednesday 2 December, this special end-of-year gathering is our largest Wednesday @6 event of the year and provides the perfect opportunity to connect with fellow IoD members and guests before the festive season.
We are delighted to welcome Alex Richards FRSA as our guest speaker, who will explore the thought-provoking topic:
“What can we do to get one million people back into education, training and work?”
Kindly hosted by RSM Bristol, the event will run from 6:00pm to 8:00pm, offering a relaxed and engaging atmosphere for discussion, learning, and networking.
Whether you are looking to strengthen existing connections, meet new contacts or simply celebrate the year's achievements with like-minded professionals, we would be delighted to welcome you.
Guests will enjoy festive drinks and a charcuterie board throughout the evening, making this a fantastic opportunity to unwind and connect with the local business community.
This event is free to attend for both members and non-members and is kindly hosted by RSM Bristol.
We look forward to welcoming you for what promises to be a memorable evening of conversation, collaboration, and festive cheer as we celebrate the close of another successful year with the IoD community.
