Ideas Café

​Ideas Café is a networking event for people who hate traditional networking.

​Rather than stand around awkwardly, or feel like you're being pitched to, this is networking The Happy Startup School way.

​Hosted by Carlos Saba and Laurence McCahill, co-founders of The Happy Startup School, it's a friendly and inclusive 2 hour morning session designed to inspire, empower and connect purpose-driven people.

​You may gain a new insight, solve a problem or make a new connection, but everyone leaves Ideas Café feeling energised and inspired to make things happen.

​Who's it for?

​Whether you're a founder, solopreneur, freelancer or corporate escapee, come with a burning question around your work or business and leave with ideas for a way forward (and new friends).

​And even if you don't have a question to bring, come anyway. We just ask that you bring an open mind and a listening ear.

​Ideas Café follows a simple structure that empowers participants to create an agenda in a fun and fair way. This means the most valuable conversations happen based on who’s part of the group.

​No egos, no wasted time, pure learning and connection.
