Being invisible isn’t an option in 2026.
Stop being overlooked and become the business people remember, refer, and book.
In one day, inside a curated room of established business owners, you’ll leave with a clear message, new opportunities, and people who understand what you do and can start opening doors.
All without relying on guesswork or shouting louder online.
This isn’t just networking. It’s a business room designed for conversations that turn into collaborations, referrals, and real opportunities.
📅 Wednesday 7th October 2026 | 🌎 Newcastle upon Tyne
If you’re done blending in and ready to be recognised for the work you know is good
- this room was built for you.
Tired of trying to figure it all out on your own?
Showing up consistently, putting your work out there and still feeling like you’re shouting into the void while the world scrolls past like you don’t exist?
Like you’re doing everything “right”… but somehow blending in anyway.
Meanwhile, others are being remembered, referred, and booked, not because they’re better, but because they’re in the right conversations, with the right people.
Because the problem isn’t your work. And it’s not your effort.
It’s that visibility alone isn’t enough anymore. And shouting louder online isn’t what makes people choose you.
What actually moves your business forward now is the right room. The right conversations. And the kind of connections that turn into real opportunities.
That’s exactly what The Edge Newcastle is built for..
If you’re done second-guessing how to stand out and you want to be recognised for what makes you different – this is where that changes.
Are you ready to:
Walk away with new ways to make your message land so people actually understand, remember, and talk about what you do
Have conversations that lead to real opportunities, not just exchanged Instagram handles
Be in a curated room where people don’t just listen - they engage, challenge, and open doors
Stop blending in and start being recognised, remembered, and talked about
The Edge Newcastle isn’t just another business development event.
It’s one day. One room.
And a carefully curated group of business owners where conversations turn into clarity, opportunities, and real momentum you can act on immediately.

The Edge Newcastle isn’t just another business development event.
It’s one day. One room.
And a carefully curated group of business owners where conversations turn into clarity, opportunities, and real momentum you can act on immediately.
This isn’t a sit-back-and-listen kind of event.
You’re not walking into a room to take notes, feel inspired for a few hours, and then go back to business as usual.
That’s not what this is.
The Edge is built around what actually moves a business forward.
From the moment you walk in, you’re part of the room. Not just watching it.
Yes, there are speakers. But this isn’t about sitting quietly and absorbing information.
It’s about being in the right environment where conversations are happening constantly.
Where ideas are shared, challenged, and shaped in real time - not just heard and forgotten.
You’ll have space to talk, ask questions and say things out loud that have been stuck in your head for months.
Because that’s where things shift.
Not from just watching someone on stage. But from being in the right conversations, with the right people, at the right time.
That’s why this works.
Because decisions happen in conversation.
People understand your work when they hear you talk about it.
Because opportunities don’t come from sitting on the sidelines. They come from interaction.
And when you’re in a room designed like this, things move faster.
Your thinking sharpens. Your message becomes clearer. And your confidence builds as you hear yourself articulate what you do.
Then the right people start to see where you fit.
That’s when opportunities open up, connections turn into actual business and you start moving forward.
You don’t just leave with notes. You leave with clarity, momentum, and people who now understand exactly what you do - and where you fit.
What To Expect
From the moment you walk in, the focus isn’t just on what’s happening on stage.
It’s on the conversations happening around you.
The day is designed to keep those conversations moving - not just in the breaks, but throughout. Because you’re in a curated room of people who are there to engage, not just observe.
The Edge isn’t about sitting back and listening. It’s about being in a room where ideas are explored, challenged, and turned into something useful for your business.
Here’s how that unfolds across the day:
Morning (9:00 – 12:00)
You’ll start with informal networking as people arrive, followed by opening sessions designed to spark ideas and give you direction.
This is where new perspectives land and you start thinking differently about your business, your positioning, and what’s possible next.
You’ll also have access to tools, services, and support in our Expo area that could directly impact how you move forward after the event.
Midday (12:00 – 13:30)
Lunch isn’t just a break.
It’s a dedicated space to connect, reflect, and have the discussions that actually move things forward.
This is where ideas turn into clarity, and where the right people start to understand what you do.
You’ll also have time to properly explore the exhibitor space and discover opportunities to support your next level of growth.
Afternoon (13:30 – 16:30)
The energy builds as the day goes on.
You’ll move into more thought-provoking sessions and a live panel conversation designed to challenge your thinking, refine your ideas, and help you see your business more clearly.
You’re not just hearing insights. You’re applying them in real time.
You’ll have further opportunities to connect with exhibitors, where ideas can turn into action.
Closing (16:30 – 17:00)
We bring the room back together for final reflections and connection.
This is where things land - where you leave not just with ideas, but with clarity on what to do next.
Optional VIP Dinner
For those joining us in the evening, the conversations continue in a more relaxed setting.
This is where relationships deepen, collaborations start to form, and the day carries on beyond the event itself.
Payment plans available for all ticket types
The Edge Newcastle isn’t happening in a standard, beige hotel ballroom.
We’ve chosen The Catalyst, one of Newcastle’s most forward-thinking innovation spaces.
It’s a building created for ideas, collaboration and ambitious thinking.
Open, light-filled, modern and purpose-built for meaningful conversations.
From the exhibition space with its natural energy, to the bespoke theatre designed for impactful presentations - every part of this venue is intentional.
It’s the kind of environment that immediately changes how you think, how you connect, and how you show up.
This isn’t a “sit back and switch off” type of event. The space itself encourages fresh thinking, real dialogue and genuine collaboration.
Add the right people into that space, and you’re not just attending an event.
You’re stepping into a room designed to move your business forward - that feels focused, energising and quietly powerful.
A generic hotel simply couldn’t offer that.
The people in the room matter and so do the ones leading the conversations on stage.

Meet Your Hosts
Gina Trick
I’m Gina - an online business strategist with over 20 years’ experience building, scaling, and running businesses, including a 7-figure wedding and events company.
I don’t just understand strategy.
I understand what it actually takes to build something that works in the real world, because I’ve done it. And I’ve run and hosted events at scale, so I know exactly what makes a room work, and what doesn’t.
Now, I help service providers cut through the noise, get clear on what matters, and build a business that feels as good as it looks.
My work is rooted in Emotionally Intelligent Strategy.
Building a business that fits your strengths, your energy, and the way you actually want to work, so you can make decisions with clarity and confidence, not pressure or guesswork.
I’ve been there. Trying to build something that looks right on the outside, but doesn’t actually fit.
That’s why I do things differently.
I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all strategy - I help you build one that fits your strengths, your values, and how you actually want to work.
Because when that clicks, everything else gets easier.
Decisions feel clearer. Showing up feels simpler. And your business starts to move forward in a way that actually feels good.
Kay Suthar
I’m Kay - I help business owners, speakers, and thought leaders turn their visibility into authority and revenue.
Not just being seen, but being remembered, trusted, and referred.
I’m the CEO and founder of Make Your Mark Podcast Agency and host of the Make Your Mark Podcast.
With a strong background in sales, networking, and leadership, I’ve built and led global teams and spoken on stages across the UK, USA, Canada, Australia, and beyond.
My work has supported businesses in scaling from six to seven figures by aligning their messaging, visibility, and monetisation into a clear, strategic ecosystem.
I’m also an award-winning author, with my book recognised in the Private Royal Library.
At the core of everything I do is communication.
Helping you articulate what you do in a way that lands, connects, and creates opportunities.
And when your message is clear and your visibility is intentional, it doesn’t just build your audience.
It builds trust, authority, and the kind of recognition that leads to real growth.
Why This Room Works
Together, we’ve designed The Edge to bring the right people into the right room.
Not just to learn, but to connect.
Not just to listen, but to be part of conversations that actually move businesses forward.
Because when you combine clear strategy, strong messaging, and the right people around you, things don’t just feel good.
They start to work - in a way that actually moves your business forward.

Why now?
Because what used to work isn’t working like it used to.
And staying where you are isn’t going to move your business forward.
You’ve got ideas. You’ve got experience. But they’re not being seen.
Building a business that stands out shouldn’t be guesswork.
This is your opportunity to do things differently, in a way that actually gets you seen, understood, and chosen.
You’ll leave the event with:
✅ A clearer message that helps you stand out and be understood
✅ Real conversations that open up opportunities and next steps
✅ Confidence in how you show up and talk about what you do
✅ People in your world who now know exactly what you do and how to support you
👇 This isn’t a room that scales. Once it’s full, doors close.
Choose your ticket and step into the room.
This event is open to everyone. It’s a space where different voices, experiences,
and perspectives are not just welcome, but essential.
Because real growth happens when you feel like you belong.

From Birmingham New Street it’s under 3 hours.
Manchester, roughly 2 hours 30.
Edinburgh is barely over an hour.
Even Glasgow is just over 2 hours on a direct train.
That’s a couple of podcasts, a coffee, maybe answering a few emails, and you’re here. No airports. No long transfers. Straight into the city centre.
Newcastle is connected, compact, and ridiculously easy to get to, which means the only real question isn’t “Is it too far?” It’s “Why wouldn’t I?”
