​In today’s rapidly evolving world, collaboration is no longer a nice-to-have—it’s a necessity. The rise of the Collaboration Economy is seeing a shift in the way businesses grow, with personality-driven referrals playing a pivotal role in building trust, credibility, and long-term success.

​Inspired by the launch of Working with Strangers, by global referral network founder Rob Flint, we've worked with our Venue Partner Shoreditch Exchange by Oneder to bring you this event.

​Join us over some pizza and drinks to explore the power of referrals in driving business growth. Our panel of industry experts and founders will be sharing their insights and you’ll get the opportunity to put some lessons into practice after!

​Get insights on:

• ​How personality fosters authentic business relationships

• ​How referrals are reshaping traditional networking and growth strategies

• ​Practical ways to collaborate and build trust within your network

• ​Actionable tips to use referrals for service providers to grow their business and for founders to find investment

​Whether you're a founder, solopreneur, or business owner, this discussion will provide valuable takeaways on how to leverage the Collaboration Economy to scale your business effectively.

​We look forward to seeing you there!
