The Process
The Better Business Network wanted to launch a Southern edition of their flagship summit that:
-
brought together purpose-driven business leaders and community members from the South of England
-
offered a mix of learning, connection and inspiration across multiple formats (keynotes, workshops, breakouts, networking)
-
created space for deeper community building and reflection beyond a typical conference schedule
-
encouraged actionable discussion around sustainable business practice and systemic change
They also wanted the event to feel personal, engaging and aligned with the network’s ethos of connection, collaboration and impact, not just information sharing.
Words from our partner
"The first edition of COMS set out to create a day designed entirely by and for community managers, a way to honor the importance of their work and give back to the people who so often give to others.
The day was filled with peer-to-peer learning, honest reflection, and practical growth, brought to life through workshops that felt human, intentional, and hands-on. Projects was the natural choice to host us: their team embodies the same values we care about: hospitality, generosity, and attention to detail that make people feel truly seen.
From the thoughtful design of Nile House to the genuine warmth of every staff member, Projects wasn’t just a venue; it was a partner. Looking back, we couldn’t have wished for a better home for our very first edition."

Attendee Testimonial
"I was so amazed by the whole event, the weeks leading up to it, the created moments together, all the small attentions to detail, the softness, the kindness, and the whole setup. It still makes me a bit emotional thinking back on it. Thank you!"
- Yanna, Community Manager at StartDock in Amsterdam
