We're providing our attendees with various ways to connect and converse, with our dedicated Networking Reception, Exhibitor Focus and of course the big one... SUGFest!

Networking Keynote - Nick Saunders

Nick Saunders is renowned as the UK's most inspirational motivational speaker on teamwork, workplace collaboration, communication and conflict resolution.

Nick is helping people to better understand themselves and adapt their approaches to improve relationships and results, using a simple and memorable four-colour model to help people understand their style, strengths and the value they bring to a team. 

Use his professional advice to get the most from all the networking opportunities at UKISUG Connect starting with the Sunday evening Networking Reception.

Networking Reception - Sunday

Join us on Sunday night for our exclusive Networking Reception. Immediately following Nick Saunders' keynote, head back into the Exhibition Hall where you'll find some amazing entertainment, delicious street food and the time and space to connect with friends and colleagues.

Networking can be ravenous work but don't worry there'll be plenty available from any of our street food stands. It's not all about the food though, when you no doubt get a little thirsty grab yourself a cocktail, a beer or a soft drink from one of our refreshment areas.

Enjoy great entertainment and music during our networking reception. We're got some amazing talent lined up especially for you, so make sure you don't miss them. We want to provide you with a fantastic opportunity to catch-up and connect, so wrap up your Sunday right at UKISUG Connect.
