Join us in the VIP Area for A Novel Way to Network\, a relaxed and engaging C2S event built around the books\, ideas and stories that have stayed with us\, shaped our thinking or simply brought us joy. We’re asking everyone who joins us to bring along a book – or two! It could be: 📚 A book/s that has inspired you professionally – perhaps something that changed the way you lead\, work\, communicate or think about business. ❤️ A personal favourite – the novel you recommend to everyone\, a book you return to time and again\, or simply one you absolutely loved. There are no right or wrong choices. From leadership and personal development to biographies\, thrillers\, classics\, history\, travel or the latest novel you couldn’t put down – bring the book that means something to you. Connecting through conversationRather than traditional networking\, we’ll gather around tables in small groups\, giving everyone the opportunity to share their choices\, talk about why they matter and discover what others are reading. Books have a wonderful way of opening up conversations. They tell us something about the people who choose them and can lead us into discussions about ideas\, experiences\, ambitions\, challenges and completely unexpected shared interests. And\, of course\, there will still be plenty of time to make new connections and catch up with familiar faces across the C2S community.  The C2S Reading ListWe’ll be collecting the titles and authors of every book brought along and\, following the event\, we’ll bring them all together to create and share our very own A Novel Way to Network Reading List. Who knows what we’ll discover – or what might make it onto your reading pile next? Come along\, bring a book\, share a story and make a new connection. Because sometimes the best conversations start with a great book. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Find Out More ABout This Years Literature Festival \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n A Novel Way to Network is taking place right at the heart of one of the highlights of Cheltenham’s cultural calendar\, so why not stay and enjoy everything the Festival has to offer?
