Fuel your ambition – and your morning – at our monthly Breakfasts
Looking to connect with driven, like-minded entrepreneurs and business leaders to start your day with a bang? Our monthly Breakfasts are where high-energy conversations, inspiration, meaningful connections and fresh ideas combine.
You’ll enjoy a full hour of high-quality networking – real conversations with people who get it. Then, hear firsthand from inspiring entrepreneurs or topic experts who’ll spark new thinking and challenge the status quo.
Attendees describe these events as welcoming, energising, fun and invaluable for building the kind of network that actually moves your business forward. Non-members can attend 2 breakfasts maximum per annum.
THE SPEAKER
Back by popular demand following on from our Conference, we’re delighted that our favourite AI expert is back and will be in conversation with us this month to give us an update on demystifying AI in 2026. There’s a lot to unpack so bring your A-game and a notebook!

He has led large-scale business and technology transformations for some of the world’s most recognised brands, and thrives working at the intersection of strategy, technology, and design.
A globally experienced leader and executive advisor, with an impressive career spanning senior roles at Waracle, AKQA and Thoughtworks.

“We work with ambitious leadership teams to define what AI means for their businesses, industries, workforces, and customers. AI is more than a technology challenge. It’s a strategic, operational, and cultural shift that demands senior leadership focus and pragmatic business transformation; act now or risk falling behind.”
We’ve allocated half an hour to the Q & A so there will be ample time to ask your AI related questions.
