Connector Communities : What are we building?
Connector is a local community of the owners of mid-market and fast growth companies and a diverse and trusted group of advisors/service suppliers that support them. Our Connectors (advisors and suppliers) are a local trusted group that specialise in mid-market and fast growth companies – if they do not know the answer, they know who does.
The community gets together once a month, ten times a year in a structured environment that supports learning, sharing, connecting, and having fun.
We are:
- A no sales environment, and at the same time we are unashamedly commercial
- The anti-networking community – we are about building relationships over time, not collecting business cards and LinkedIn connections, and
- We are politics free.
We aim to provide you with a lifelong local business community.
How it works?
There are two separate activities with the community each month
- Community Monthly Meet Ups – The community gets together once a month, ten times a year at EMA Business Hub – 145 Khyber Pass Road, Grafton, Auckland.
We generally meet on the first Tuesday of each month from February to November inclusive (dates are below in my signature)
The format is:
3.00pm – Workshops
Ted talk style interactive workshops delivered by our experts. These are designed to challenge you thinking differently.
There are the owners and leaders from over 50 other companies sitting at round tables.
5.00pm – Connect Event
This is a chance to catch up with the business leaders and guru’s you have met, and to chat to others in the room… and no sponsor commercials! It is this regularity of contact that build you relationships, efficiently
- Community Catch Ups (Cuppa Meetings) This is a chance to meet other members in the community. A schedule is published at the start of each month. You can schedule to catch up separately or pop into the Meet Up early and chat there.
And – you can let us know if you have any particular question/issues/challenges and we will match you up with an expert to chat it through. (You can also use our App (see below) and contact them directly.
Private Community App
Each Connector community has its own private app. This will include details of everyone in the community, who to ask for help, the Cuppa meeting schedule, and a few other helpful things. This runs on the Appranet system developed by our partners, Putti.
It’s by invitation only, so if you’re keen to get involved then let me know & I will invite you as my guest.
