Dartford Living Live

“Brilliant”
“Fantastic event”
“I’ve made so many great new contacts”

Just a few of the lovely comments received after the third FREE Dartford Living Live networking event. With another 100+ turnout,

After the success of our previous networking events, we hoped to build on this to make the latest event even better and it didn’t disappoint. Follow a similar format to the previous two events, the new Fairfield Leisure provided a perfect backdrop for the event. The food provided by A Question of Thyme was also very popular too.

A number of business and charities were given the opportunity to speak about their organisation in front of the whole networking group. A team of volunteers also created goody bags and local businesses and charities were invited to place their flyers, sample products and business card in so that local people start to build up a network of local businesses and charities.

Dartford Living charged absolutely nothing for organisation to attend the event and we also did not charge anything at all for businesses to include their items in our goodie bag.

If you or your organisation are interested in attending our next Dartford Living Live event, or considering advertising in Dartford Living magazine or our brand new directory, then drop an email to sales@dartfordlving.com and we’ll be happy to help.

Dartford Living would like to thank Fairfield Leisure Centre for hosting the event, Wisdom Estates and the Campanile Hotel Dartford for sponsoring the event and a Question of Thyme for the catering.

Below is a gallery of images from the event. Thanks to Pete Bresser from www.bresserphotos.com/ for taking the pictures.
