The Knowledge Room - January 2026

"I've never been to a networking event like this before". That's how many of our attendees described our November event. It's a space where you not only connect on a business level but also grow meaningful connections with kind people who share their stories.

At The Knowledge Room, specialists, freelancers, and small business owners come together to get unstuck - and move forward. It's an open space to pick each other’s brains and support each other. Just bring your laptop, current challenges, and any burning questions!

Whether you're a coach, copywriter, virtual assistant, or creative designer you’ve likely hit a few roadblocks in your business. Maybe you're deciding on a pricing change, struggling with visibility, or trying to figure out your next step.

Let’s fix it together in a room full of people who know their stuff, and are ready to swap insights, share ideas, and help each other move forward.

We'll each have a chance to share:

• What we’re stuck on
• What we can help others with
  

You’ll leave with practical ideas, contacts, and probably a few "why didn’t I think of that?" moments.

Examples of who might be in the room:

• Social media specialist
• Web designer
• Business coach or strategist
• Finance expert
• Brand Photographer
• Copywriter
• ...and more
  
  

What to expect…

• Light structure to keep things flowing
• A welcoming space to connect and collaborate - there’s no such thing as silly questions!
• Bring your business cards and any sample products you have to share with others
• Tea, coffee, and pastries
• Plenty of time for idea-swapping, co-working, and meeting new people!
  
  

This is for you if:

• You’re self-employed and juggling all the hats
• You’re generous with your knowledge and open to learning
• You want to invest in specialist help but you’re not sure where to start or who is the best person to ask
  
  

Spaces are limited - reserve your spot!
