Our new app and Structured Networking initiative will help you make all the right connections. Here’s how…
As organisers of Echelon for over six years, we know the importance of networking and making valuable and long-lasting connections.
We also know very well that the thought of approaching a stranger can be daunting and we want every event to be of value to you, at the end of the day. We want to take the pressure of meeting your next investor or your next business partner off your shoulders and place it on ourselves.
