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.
Bedes School
Set in the heart of Upper Dicker, Bede’s School spans over 100 acres of the Sussex Downs National Park. Originally part of Horatio Bottomley’s grand estate—complete with stables, kennels, and landscaped gardens—the site later became home to St Bede’s School Trust in the late 1970s. From just 23 pupils, it has grown to around 750 students today, making it one of the most successful independent schools in the region.
