Supercharge your business and professional development at Brighton Summit 24/7

Hannah Jackson, Marketing and Engagement Manager at Brighton Chamber, shares information about key workshop sessions being staged at this year’s Brighton Summit on 23 October.

Now in its eleventh year, Brighton Summit is a place where ideas are born, businesses are forged and connections are made. It’s an event to fuel your personal growth and business development as 500 businesses come together for a full day of top-notch speakers, inspiring keynotes, workshops and unparalleled ways to connect, get thinking, networking, and doing business differently.

Throughout the day you’ll hear from three keynotes – including Bill Collison, Founder of Bill’s, and Alison Lapper MBE, with our final keynote to be announced soon – as well as choosing from a whole host of sessions to curate a day for you, and your business.

Part of this includes choosing a workshop – an hour and a bit long session to learn a new skill from a passionate expert. Whether you choose to do a digital detox, discover making space for play, or learn about the different perspectives in our world, here are some of the workshops you can choose from to explore our 24/7 theme.

24/6? How to avoid being always on

Our 24/7 ‘always-on’ culture has made it very hard to switch off from phones and laptops. In our ‘24/6? How to avoid being always on’ workshop with Kerry Watkins from Social For Good, redefine your relationship with devices to improve sleep, focus and productivity. Prepare for a mini digital detox (if you want one!)

Same world, different perspectives

Helping us explore the different perspectives that make up our world will be Mo Kanjilal and Kaia Allen-Bevan from Watch This Sp_ce. In small groups, you’ll talk about the people, places, experiences, and assumptions that form yours and others perspectives. You’ll better understand the range of viewpoints of people in your business and work community, and what makes them different.

Making space for play every day

When was the last time you played? Nikki Shaill from Originary Arts’ Making space for play every day workshop will help you reconnect with the power of play, and try some simple ideas to incorporate more playful moments into your routine. If you’d ever wondered how you’d tackle tasks on TV’s Taskmaster, this is the workshop for you.

Creative conversation: seven habits for better connections

Peter Osbourn and Eddy Canfor-Dumas – otherwise known as the Ant and Dec of dialogue – are running a workshop on creative conversations, diving into some powerful tools and free resources that you can use, 24/7, to improve the quality of the conversations and connections you have.
