Description
Join us for a unique networking and business development experience set within the inspiring surroundings of Conkers and the National Forest.

This Net-walking event is designed to bring together Chamber members and the National Forest’s corporate sponsors and partners to connect, share insights, and grow their networks – all while enjoying the benefits of being outdoors.

We’ll kick off the morning with refreshments, informal networking, introductions, and business updates, before heading out for a relaxed hour-long walk through the Conkers countryside. Along the trail, you'll have the chance to talk business, exchange ideas, and tackle challenges with fellow professionals in a supportive, energising setting.

🌱 Why join us?
Grow your network naturally – conversations flow more freely when you’re on the move.

Engage with like-minded businesses – from Chamber members to National Forest partners.

Get out of the office – and into a more creative, inspiring environment.

Boost wellbeing – walking and fresh air are proven to reduce stress and enhance focus.

Feel connected – discover opportunities for collaboration and shared growth.

Whether you're looking to expand your network, gain fresh business insights, or simply step away from the desk for an inspiring morning, this event offers the perfect blend of professional development and wellbeing.

👟 Just bring comfortable shoes, your business cards, and a willingness to connect.

Let’s walk, talk, and grow – together. 🌳💬
