Inspirational talks, expert masterclasses and a celebration of business growth are in store for this year's event

The Social Business Wales Conference is specifically intended to provide inspiration, ideas and practical skills to social businesses in Wales which will help them enter new markets, develop new products or services, collaborate with each other, or adopt new structures – all of which will enable them to grow and be more sustainable.

This annual conference, will provide an environment for knowledge exchange, sharing best practice and networking within the sector; encourage innovation; and provide opportunities to learn from and build partnerships with the private and public sector.

The national conference will be hosted at Venue Cymru in Llandudno for the first time, and costs just £10 to attend.

We will also be running the Social Business Wales Awards the evening before, to specifically highlight social businesses in Wales which are making a significant economic and social impact.

The awards ceremony is free and open to anyone wishing to attend.
