Welcome to Talk Event

MEET THE FOUNDERS
Marie Palbom Bogedal Brown & Esther Young hosted the very first Talk Event back in October 2022, as there was a huge gap for a relaxed, supportive & inclusive Small Business Event. Talk Event was an idea discussed over a coffee in the summer & by September we were sending out invites. And it was a hit.
Marie is a Brand & Fashion natural light photographer & Esther supports businesses through mentorship, coaching & creative consultancy.
"Through our businesses, we meet with so many Creatives & Start-ups, we knew we had to create something to bring them together" - Marie

"We are both passionate about bringing Small Businesses together to offer support, encouragement, inpiration & advice. Talk Event is an absolute honour to be part of" - Esther
WHO ARE WE & WHAT WE DO?
We are a monthly event for product & service based small businesses. We bring you people & topics that we think you will want to hear about. We attract all types of business owners, freelancers, entrepreneurs & side-hustlers too.
Some months we will invite one special guest, other months we welcome a panel of speakers who all bring different viewpoints & experience on a chosen topic.
Our events promise to inspire, motive & encourge you, whatever stage your business is at. We bring you relatable advice, stories & tips to move you forward.
"Each month we curate a Talk, welcoming experts in their fields, to share their knowledge, insight & inspirational stories. We keep the event very relaxed & as a guest, you are involved in what feels like an in-person podcast. We don't use slides, screens or props, we are about simple conversation" - Esther

WHAT CAN I EXPECT?
"Always a warm & friendly welcome - our event has been referred to as a big hug, we love that! We are a no-pressure event & we love seeing new faces" - Marie

Our event is totally inclusive & everyone is welcome.
We usually divide our event into two parts, with a break for drinks, refreshements & a chance to mingle & chat.
You will meet new friends, familiar faces & peers from an array of industries.

You will want to take notes ..we encourage it
WHERE DO WE MEET?
We host our event at the historic Insole Court in Llandaff City, Cardiff. There is plenty of free parking, plus Insole Court is walking distance from Fairwater Train Station, or bus stops in nearby Llandaff Village. 
You are welcome to use the fascilities at Insole afterwards, to wander around the beautiful grounds, catch up with friends, or get some work done over lunch.
"Arriving at Insole feels like a retreat. It's an escape from the day to day & a chance to step away from your businesses" - Esther
