What are ESTA Business Meet-ups Like?
ESTA Business meet-ups vary a lot, in size, scope, numbers and degrees of formality and informality. We know just how busy people trying to run their own businesses or community organisations can be and we try to work around you.

ESTA Meet-ups are Wide and Varied

Formal Big Breakfast Gatherings, evening drinks, cocktail and party events, morning meetings over coffee, lunchtime gatherings, presentations, impromptu coffees, specialist sector co-ordination meet-ups, one-to-one coffees and chats and conferences.

The style and variety of ESTA meet-ups is wide and varied and designed to give as many members as possible the chance of contacting, connecting, networking and sharing as possible.

All members are welcome to contact the ESTA coordinator for a one-to-one coffee at any time.


Non members, who might be thinking of joining us,  are also welcome to our meetings, whether they are already established businesses and organisations or just thinking of taking their first steps into the world of freelance work.

Notification of future events and meet-ups are on the ESTA Events calendar

There is More to ESTA than Going to Meetings
Some of our members have never managed to get to an ESTA meet-up but still get a lot out of ESTA. That's because ESTA cultivates community and not just networking opportunities. Whilst we recognise the value of traditional networking (otherwise we wouldn't do it) we think that, in the long run, it is the building of good relationships and strong community links over time that proves to be of most value. One that is trying to put the values and aspirations of the ESTA Quadruple Bottom Lines and the Collaborative ethos into everyday practice.
