Collective Problem Solving for Women in Business (& Pitches for Cash).

Freelancers and small business-owners are often working on their own but Blue Stockings women are never alone! In this meeting you will have the opportunity to raise an issue or challenge you have and gather collective wisdom from others. Don't be stuck - join us in-person or online and leave with ideas, inspiration and new friends.

In addition we will hear short pitches to the Blue Stockings Subscriber Fund. If you are a monthly Subscriber you can pitch for up to £350 to pay for something you need to take your business forward or to donate to a charity or cause close to your heart. You need to apply to pitch by submitting the form on this link by noon on Tuesday 11th November. Up to 4 women will be selected to speak for 4 minutes each. More details of what is involved are on the form.

There will also be an opportunity to share information and offers from your business.

This is a hybrid event so you can join us on-line or in-person at the Createry in Nottingham. We understand it can be easier and more convenient to join on-line but we are missing seeing you in the flesh! So come to the Createry if you can, where there will be refreshments, home made cake, fruit and nibbles and other lovely women to meet. It's a great opportunity to find out more about what people do, enjoy chance conversations and re-energise off-line.

Of course if you can't attend in person, we'd be delighted If you join us online. We will send you the link to join us on zoom the day before the meeting.
