We Are Wakefield members and first timers will enjoy breakfast and networking at Wakefield Exchange. We will learn all about this exciting new venue. We will also hear from Heart of Yorkshire Education‘s Debbie Lee on how connecting with education can support your business.
There will be an optional tour of WX spaces at the end of the event at 11.30am.
Your mission throughout the morning will be to form new connections through great conversations! Make 2025 your year for WAW COLLABORATION!
Event Disclaimer: Accessibility & Noise Levels
Our aim is to consider the needs of all our members and visitors to create an inclusive, welcoming environment at every event.
As we host events in different venues, noise levels and surroundings may vary. While we are mindful of this, networking and group gatherings can sometimes be loud, which we appreciate may be challenging for some individuals, including those who are hearing impaired, neurodiverse, or sensitive to sound.
If you require accommodations or a quieter space, please speak to a member of our team, and we will do our best to assist you.
Thank you for your understanding and for helping us make our events accessible and enjoyable for everyone.
