SMART Business Forums is a unique and valuable investment for business owners. Any opportunity to discuss with peers the typical business challenges without the burden of receiving a sales pitch is without doubt valuable - I highly recommend business owners to consider attending

Great that the event is not about the 'sales pitch' - rather how we can help and support each other. Brenda is an engaging facilitator and she kept us on track and focused. I highly recommend attending these events in future.

An excellent focused event targeting other SMB's in my industry; good connections for future alliances.

Brenda is an absolute authority on Networking. Her events are always focused. I would be so bold as to say that all participants leave with a new alliance or a very clear understanding of their ideal alliance partner.

Smart Small Business Forum is definitively an unique experience in networking! It's well organised and attracts like-minded business owners.

Attended the SMART Connect event in June. Well attended by an enthusiastic and varied group of business owners sharing a focus on helping SMEs and each other develop their businesses. The session was well run and facilitated by Brenda. Those attending participated well. I for one came away with some very useful contacts and potential alliance partners. Highly recommended this event.

The Smart forums are engaging, efficient on time, appropriately structured and well coordinated. Having attended a few forums, I have seen them continue to evolve in a manner which increases the value to the participants. I personally have used the forums to test existing practices as well as float some new ideas - and have walked away each time with a list of ideas and actions. In addition, I have met a number of interesting people for follow up. Based on my experiences, I have no hesitation in recommending the Smart Forums to business.

Useful interactions and one good potentially high value connection. Found that most were more soho than sme though so this diminished the value

Brenda was excellent in showing us how various persons would benefit from working together. Love her Blue Book.

Brenda's Blue Book: love it. Great to connect with like-minded business owners. A key takeaway: what can we give to alliance partners that could add value to their clients. Time for some homework!
