A day of meaningful conversations and meeting people beyond the screen in Essex
This is the very first This Mum Loves Tech LIVE event, and I can’t wait to bring online business owners together in real life.
Whether you’re already part of the This Mum Loves Tech community or discovering it for the first time, this day is for online business owners who want more than online support alone and are ready to spend a day learning and asking questions in person.
This is your chance to step away from the screen and spend a full day sharing real conversations and meeting the people behind the profiles.
This is not an event to just sit back and listen.
This is a full day of connection, learning and hopefully lots of fun
Why This Mum Loves Tech Is Going In Person This Year
Online support is brilliant. It’s flexible, accessible and incredibly powerful. But there is something different about being in the same room.
In person, conversations go deeper.
Questions are answered with context.
Connections feel more human.
This event is about getting to know the people and businesses behind the screens, in a way that just is not possible on an online call or inside a Facebook group.
It is a celebration of the This Mum Loves Tech community and everything that has been built over the last couple of years, whether you've been part of it from the start or joining for the first time at the event.
What you can expect on the day
From the moment you arrive, you will be guided through the day so you never feel awkward, unsure or left out.
You can expect:
A warm welcome and a friendly, inclusive atmosphere
Lots of networking opportunities throughout the day
Three amazing guest speakers sharing their knowledge
A tech expert panel to answer your questions
Time to browse product stalls and support small businesses
My goal is that you will leave the day having made at least 20 or more new connections.
