2013 SHOW FEATURE<br />

THE<br />

BOARDROOM<br />

If you’ve ever fancied taking your place at the boardroom table, then this<br />

is your chance! Pull up an executive chair and benefit from peer-to-peer<br />

mentoring and business development support in <strong>The</strong> Boardroom.<br />

It’s easy for a business owner to<br />

lose sight of the bigger picture<br />

as they work hard on their<br />

business every day. And if you’re<br />

an owner-operator or you only<br />

employ a handful of staff to help<br />

out, then it can be hard to find<br />

the right people to bounce ideas<br />

off. That’s why we created <strong>The</strong><br />

Boardroom.<br />

Participants gather around a<br />

boardroom table, in a combination<br />

of peer-to-peer mentoring and<br />

networking activity, where business<br />

owners support one another by<br />

sharing their experiences. Anyone<br />

who attend <strong>The</strong> Boardroom can<br />

bring a particular issue or question<br />

to the table for discussion, with<br />

the aim of gathering fresh ideas<br />

and approaches that may result in<br />

significant breakthroughs for their<br />

business.<br />

Whether you want to talk about<br />

how to obtain finance, what<br />

marketing style would work best<br />

for you or how your business could<br />

expand, <strong>The</strong> Boardroom offers a<br />

WHICH<br />

BOARDROOM?<br />

Take your place at the start-up<br />

table with other entrepreneurs whose<br />

businesses are in the first two years,<br />

or join the small business owners<br />

who have been trading for more<br />

than two years in the SME<br />

boardroom.<br />

platform for you to air your issues,<br />

share your own experiences,<br />

and have fruitful and engaging<br />

discussions with like-minded<br />

entrepreneurs.<br />

<strong>The</strong>re are two separate<br />

Boardrooms. One is aimed<br />

directly at aspiring entrepreneurs<br />

and recent start-ups, while the<br />

second is specifically for small<br />
