Your host, Stefan Thomas

I've lived in and around Witney since 1980, and I've spent most of my working life helping people connect. I wrote Business Networking for Dummies and Instant Networking, co-wrote Win The Room, and as Network Director at 4Networking I was responsible for around 5,000 networking events a year.

These days I run Connect Network, an invitation-only community for business owners, and I also run Connect Live!, a national business event right here in Witney. I speak and train all over the UK too. Connect Witney is my chance to bring all of that home, to the town I love. I'd love to meet you there.
