Ultimate Sussex Network - Go-Slo Networking
Tired of the usual fast-paced, high-pressure networking events? Our Go-Slow Networking offers a fresh, relaxed approach designed to help you build meaningful connections at a comfortable pace.
Hosted by Amanda Young, our enthusiastic Network Master of Ceremonies. Amanda will begin with a warm welcome and a brief update on the latest Sussex Chamber member news and upcoming events.
How it works:
The room is arranged with an inner circle of delegates who remain seated, while the larger outer circle rotates to meet each person one-to-one. You’ll have 4 minutes each to introduce yourselves, making a total of 8 minutes per pair. This slower pace gives you time to genuinely engage and start building stronger relationships, no rushing, no pressure.
The outer circle moves clockwise to meet the next delegate, ensuring you get to speak with everyone in the room. It’s networking reimagined to be inclusive and approachable, perfect for those who find traditional speed networking intimidating.
Why you’ll love it:
-
Stress-free introductions: Walk in not knowing anyone, walk away having connected with everyone.
-
Quality conversations: The extended time lets you really get to know fellow professionals.
-
Inclusive format: No hard selling or forced pitches, just authentic, meaningful networking.
-
Proven success: Our members consistently give great feedback and report tangible business benefits.
Join us to experience networking that’s less about rushing and more about building real business relationships. Whether you’re new to networking or looking for a more enjoyable way to connect, Go-Slow Networking is the perfect fit.
Step away from the hustle and reconnect with fellow Sussex business leaders in the stunning surroundings of Wadhurst Castle, a Grade II-listed estate with 140 acres of peaceful parkland and panoramic views across the High Weald.
Built in the early 1800s and beautifully restored, the castle offers an inspiring backdrop for meaningful conversations, slow networking, and fresh ideas. With elegant rooms, tranquil gardens, and modern spaces like the Carriage Barn, it’s the perfect place to connect, reflect, and grow.
