A festive afternoon of great conversations, new connections and Christmas celebrations.

Connect & Celebrate

Join us for a festive afternoon of great conversations, new connections and Christmas celebrations.

We’re heading to the gorgeous, award-winning DJV Boutique in Ipswich for a relaxed afternoon bringing together women in business from across Suffolk.

Expect plenty of time to chat and connect, a mini festive treat box, welcome fizz, live music and a little Christmas shopping too, all while rounding off the year in lovely company.

Whether you’re already part of Athena or joining us for the first time, you’ll feel very welcome.

What to expect

🥂 Welcome Fizz to get into the Christmas spirit.

🎄 Mini festive treat box for each guest

🎶 Live music from professional vocalist Annika Rands, performing a beautiful mix of well-known classics and popular Christmas songs.

💬 Networking and new connections with a welcoming community of women in business.

🛍️ A little festive shopping, with the opportunity to browse DJV Boutique's beautiful collection, enjoy an exclusive offer and perhaps tick a few Christmas presents off your list!

🎁 A little gift from DJV for every guest.

More than just networking

At Athena, we believe the best business relationships are built through genuine connection, collaboration and community.

This event is an opportunity to experience that for yourself, without the pressure of traditional networking. Just a lovely afternoon spent meeting other women, enjoying good conversation and celebrating the end of another year in business.

DJV Boutique is known for its welcoming in-store experiences and personalised approach to fashion and styling, making it the perfect setting for our festive get-together.

Whether you're looking to grow your network, reconnect with familiar faces or simply enjoy a couple of hours away from the day-to-day demands of running a business, you'll be very welcome.
