Ahead of the Curve

The women who shape tomorrow don't wait for change. They create it.

The business landscape is changing faster than ever. The most successful founders aren't the ones trying to do more. They're the ones who think differently.

They have the clarity to make confident decisions. The courage to evolve before they're forced to. And the vision to spot opportunities long before they become obvious to everyone else.

That is what it means to stay ahead of the curve.

Join Brand You Connect this autumn for an afternoon designed to help you pause, think bigger and reconnect with the vision for your business.

Through inspiring conversation, meaningful connections and thought-provoking ideas, you'll leave with a clearer perspective on where you're going and how to lead with greater confidence.

Meet Our Guest Speaker

Ceylan Boyce

 Founder of the Academy for Women Entrepreneurs

We're delighted to welcome one of the UK's leading business growth strategists and champions of female  entrepreneurship. A TEDx speaker, business strategist and former adviser to the European Commission on women’s entrepreneurship, Ceylan has spent over 20 years helping businesses grow and has worked with thousands of women entrepreneurs across the world. She’s known for cutting through the noise, bringing crystal clarity, kicking arse with love, and helping women build and grow profitable businesses on their own terms so they can create more flexibility, freedom and choice in their lives.

In her keynote, Why Clarity Is Your Greatest Competitive Advantage, Ceylan will explore why the businesses creating the greatest impact aren't necessarily the busiest, they're the clearest.

Drawing on her own entrepreneurial journey, she'll share why clarity isn't simply about knowing your goals. It's about making better decisions, recognising opportunities sooner, adapting with confidence and creating sustainable growth without losing sight of what matters most.

What You'll Leave With

An opportunity to step out of the day-to-day and invest in your thinking.

By the end of the afternoon you'll leave with:

✨ Greater clarity about your next chapter

✨ More confidence in your decision-making

✨ Inspiration to lead your business with purpose rather than pressure

✨ Meaningful connections with ambitious women who understand the journey

Because the biggest breakthrough doesn't come from working harder. It comes from thinking differently.

The Power of the Room

Every Brand You Connect event is intentionally curated. You'll spend the afternoon alongside 40–50 ambitious female founders and business owners who believe in collaboration over competition and meaningful conversation over superficial networking.

This is a room full of women who are building remarkable businesses, generously sharing ideas, experiences and opportunities.

Because while one conversation can change your perspective...The right room can change your future.

The Venue

We're delighted to be hosting Ahead of the Curve at The Curve Club, a venue chosen especially for this event.

Built for people who are curious, driven and forward-thinking, The Curve Club perfectly reflects the spirit of the afternoon. Following your dreams in business is never a conventional path. It takes courage to think differently, embrace change and keep moving forward.

There couldn't be a more fitting place to gather women who are ready to shape what's next.

Your Afternoon Includes

• Welcome drink on arrival

• Cocktail or mocktail

• Seasonal canapés

• An inspiring keynote from Ceylan Boyce

• Curated networking with exceptional female founders

Your Invitation

The future isn't built by women waiting to see what happens.

It's built by women who are willing to think differently, lead with clarity and place themselves in rooms that challenge and inspire them.

If you're ready to step away from the noise, reconnect with your vision and surround yourself with women who are shaping what's next, we'd love you to join us.

"The calibre of the women I met at the Connect social and the conversations I had were incredible. That was a room on a whole new level. Nothing surface level - deep conversations, deep exploration. Immediately pushing us out of our comfort zones. That was really something special."

Rowena Wilding | Wilding Marketing

"Some Rooms will never let you become who you’re meant to be! The right rooms just hit different. You feel it immediately - the conversations, the energy, the standard… and the connections. Connect Social was one of those. Congratulations, Olivia. What you created in that room was a space where others felt heard and lifted too. Not competition. Not comparison. But connection, support, and shared elevation."

"I’m absolutely still buzzing too. It really was such a special event. The energy in the room was incredible and that’s a direct reflection of Olivia and the community she's building. I loved connecting, chatting and laughing with everyone - it felt warm, welcoming and genuinely uplifting. I’m so grateful to have met the Connect tribe and it means a lot to be included on this journey with her. Her vision, generosity and drive are inspiring and I can’t wait to see how it continues to grow this year."

Sandy Lancaster - House of Colour

"Still feeling buoyed after the fabulous Brand You Connect social this week, beautifully put on by Olivia. A real tonic and the perfect start to the year. Powerful conversations about our big goals and bold dreams for 2026, surrounded by dynamic, inspiring women and a true sense of sisterhood. More of this in 2026, please."

Sheila Smith - BeHomed

"Last week I was invited to speak by Olivia at her Brand You Connect event and I’ve been reflecting on that experience ever since. I want to say this openly: it is because of women – and people – like Olivia that these conversations happen at all. Conversations that many shy away from (trust me, I know this to be true). Not because the topics are uncomfortable, but because they require courage. What Olivia created was not a space rooted in pity, but in empowerment. And what followed were some of the most vulnerable, powerful conversations I’ve witnessed between women."
