Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Social Traders has decided to postpone the networking event scheduled for March 31st and redesign the activity in an online format. We are primarily concerned with the need to protect stakeholders and staff. Please bear with us as we change our approach and we will be in touch soon with further details. We are excited to be trialing an online approach and look forward to your participation.
