SENS will alert you to key events in and around Suffolk that are interest to Suffolk social enterprises.

 

SENS Events

At SENS events, there are no long speeches, no 'expert' panels, no being talked at, no monologue by theorists...

Instead, you contribute the content, attend workshops hosted by your peers, and make your own highly-interactiveand pragmatic event.

 

Following our earlier success, SENS is planning a more regular series of combined business and social events for members, starting in late 2010. Subject to funding, these will usually be free"half-day" events running 10am to 2pm, with a buffet lunch included, and be spread around Suffolk.

Meanwhile, here's news of other local 2010 events...

 

 

Low Cost, Fast Growth Marketing Event at Adastral Park , Ipswich on Thursday 10th June.

 

This afternoon workshop is hosted personally by Doug Richard, the original BBC2 Dragon.

Doug demonstrates how the internet has levelled the playing field between your business and your largest competitors and why this is a unique opportunity for today's businesses.

 

The workshop will look at

 

*         Using Thought Leadership to drive Social Media PR in the 21 st Century

 

*         Blogs, Conversations and Gossip: Key Tools for 2010

 

*         No Cost Video

 

*         How search engine optimisation (SEO) is changing and what to do about it

These free interactive workshop build on the SENS Strategy for Promoting Social Enterprise in Suffolk (on our website) and are set up by fellow practising social entrepreneurs (SENS volunteers). We explore areas of self-help (information exchange and mentoring) and collaboration in the face of challenges and opportunities resulting from rapid change in various sectors.

They also help to shape SENS activities as the trade association for social enterprises in Suffolk , acting on behalf of our collective interests.
