BScene runs free networking and training events for people whose businesses have a social benefit or are creative in some way (and who are motivated by these things as much as by making money!). We aim to support these types of entrepreneurs at all stages of their business, from 'thinking about it' to fully fledged business owners.

The evenings involve informal networking, fun warm-up activities to help everyone get to know each other and a talk or workshop as listed above. Many new friendships and business collaborations have been formed over the last few months since we've been running. Bscene is a great way to meet other entrepreneurs, share resources, learn some new skills and have some fun! Just turn up with your business cards (if you have some) and an open mind, grab a cup of tea and join in...

Want to learn how to win people over to your point of view? Got a great
product or service but start blethering as soon as someone asks you about
it? Fear not, Erica will whip you into shape. Using tools from comedy and
theatre, plus a lot of patience and enthusiasm, you'll soon be as persuasive
as Gordon Ramsey is offensive! See you there!
