“I would rather be surrounded by smart people than have a huge budget.” - McKinsey Associate

We are delighted to invite anyone who cares about the social impact to our first BNest “Ask & Advise” Evening.

The idea is simple – we would love to gather together for one evening – all those who want to make a positive social change in Limerick and surrounding areas. This will be an evening of chat, networking and problem solving over pizza and beer.

Since starting BNest – we’ve seen so many amazing and unexpected connections made nearly instantly in a room full of passionate people. It is always easy to get them talking about their passion and soon you hear:

“I know who you should talk to…”

“yes, we’ve been there before…”

“you know there is a fund for that…

”why don’t you try this – it worked really well for us…”

BNest “Ask & Advise” Evening will be an actually useful networking event where you can ask for help, offer your advice, find inspiration and support each other.

This event is for social changemakers who:

• are involved in social enterprises – juggling business and social impact – at all stages from idea to start-ups to established organisations

• want to connect with like-minded people

• have a problem, but don’t know who to ask

• are searching for a contact, but not sure where to look

• are planning next steps and need advice

and on the other side it is also for professionals and members of public who:

• want to engage in conversations around the things that matter

• would like to collaborate on passion projects (i.e. emerging social enterprises or charities)

• want to contribute their skills, experience and knowledge to create new opportunities.

Everyone is welcome – whatever your skill might be: technical, financial, legal, marketing, sales, planning & strategy, information technology, supply chain or people focused skills; if you rock at social meda or know pretty much everyone in town – we need all hands on deck! And even if you don’t get a chance to give your advise on the night – you will get to spend an evening amongst many interesting people!

Whether you have a question to ask, problem to be solved, want to share your expertise, get involved in worthy initiatives or simply make some interesting connections – we would love to have you in the room!

Our event will be hosted by Chris MM Gordon – business and a social entrepreneur, the CEO of the Irish Social Enterprise Network (Socent.ie) and BCorp Ireland.

We hope to see you there,
BNest Team
