The Melting Pot and Startup Grind Scotland are delighted to invite you to our second in-person, cross-community networking event. We’re bridging communities to help you spark new connections and collaborations.

At TMP and SG Scotland, community is at the heart of everything we do. It is where we get advice from people who have done it before, find support when things aren’t going to plan, and celebrate our wins.

But without challenging our perspectives, innovation slows and ideas silo. Stepping out of our usual networks offers us a chance to build relationships with people with different worldviews, expertise and experiences - and create a lasting impact.

In our second event together, we will take a deep dive into exploring one of the three essential ingredients needed for effective collaborations: Trust.

Join us at Codebase on November 3rd, where our speakers will share their stories and learnings about trusting themselves, letting go and trusting others, and trust as the foundation for building strong communities and ecosystems.

What to expect:

• Hear from cross-sector experts about trust as the foundation to their success
• Learn about the different business communities in Edinburgh
• Share your business passions with like-minded people
• Engage in facilitated, purposeful networking
• Connect with peers and new friends in a casual setting
• Wine, beer, soft drinks and nibbles
• Share an ask or a project you’re excited for with the community

Hosted by:

• The Melting Pot
• Startup Grind Scotland

• Everyone’s Edinburgh
• Barclays Eagle Labs
• Scotland CanDo
• CodeBase
• JCI Edinburgh
• Black Professionals Scotland
• Creative Edinburgh
