Event Description
Thriving Together: Your Small Business CPD Day
Running a small business often means wearing multiple hats, balancing priorities and finding very little time to focus on your own professional development. Staying up to date with the latest tools, trends and business strategies is important, but it can be difficult to fit it all into an already busy schedule.
That's why Solent Business Growth Service has created Thriving Together, a free Continuing Professional Development (CPD) Day designed specifically for small businesses.
Whether you're just starting out or looking to take an established business to the next level, you'll gain practical insights from expert-led workshops covering key topics including Marketing, Sales, AI and more.
The day has been designed to help you maximise your time away from the business, bringing together valuable learning opportunities in one place. You'll also have the chance to book dedicated one-to-one sessions with specialist advisers, giving you tailored support and advice specific to your business needs.
Best of all, it's completely free to attend.
To secure your place, register today and select the workshops you'd like to attend. You can choose one workshop from each session, allowing you to build a programme that's most relevant to you and your business.
Spaces on each workshop are limited, so we encourage you to book early to secure your preferred choices.
