Dartford Living Live

by | Dec 3, 2015 | Dartford Business

We are now in the position to announce our 2nd Dartford Living Meetup. The Free event (now given the more catchier title of Dartford Living Live) will once again be sponsored by Wisdom Estates. and hosted by the Campanile Hotel Dartford. We wanted to build on the success of the first meetup, and after reading the responses from the survey that we sent around, we feel that the 2nd meetup will be even more beneficial that the first.

The date for your diaries is the 20th January 2016 from 7pm-9pm at the Campanile Hotel just off Crossways Boulevard, Dartford. The venue is very accessible and has dedicated parking (without any time limits!) It also has a station nearby.

Locally sourced food will again be provided for the event by Question of Thyme.

What we plan to allow on the night is a number of business/ charities to speak about their organisation in front of the group. These slots will be allocated on a first come first served basis and have only been opened up to people who attended the previous meeting. If there are still spaces available, then they will be offered out to new businesses/ charities.
After listening to feedback we will also be providing proper printed name badges so people know who the other attendees are and what business/ charity they represent.
As part of the event we will be creating goodie bags that we are inviting businesses and charities to place their flyers, sample products or even just a business card in so that we can all start to build up a network of local businesses that we can start to use. We are not charging anything at all for businesses to include their items in our goodie bag however if businesses can afford it we are asking for a £10 voluntary contribution (not compulsory) to allow us to create these goodie bags.

We are hoping for another great turn out.

If you are interested in reserving a space please can you email meetup@dartfordliving.com letting us know how many places are required, the names of attendees and whether you are interested in either speaking and or contributing to the goodie bags.
