[/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_toggle title=”FAQS” admin_label=”FAQs” _builder_version=”4.3.2″]Do I need to come for the whole event?
It would be beneficial for businesses to come for the full event as we don’t want you to miss out on any of the inspirational seminars and interviews. If you do wish to join us after the event starts, please try and be quiet when you enter the seminar room.

How much time is there for networking?
North Tyneside Business Forum’s strapline is connecting and supporting businesses, so we’ve built in lots of time for networking over breakfast, during a refreshment break and before you leave.

Is there a charge for parking?
Anyone who is at the hotel for four hours or more will need to pay a £5.00 charge either at the kiosk in the reception area or there is an app that is very easy to use. We’ve kept the event to exactly four hours and will be finishing before noon so if you arrive about 8:30am, you won’t need to pay for parking.
