Connect & Thrive

Connect & Thrive, MyDough’s flagship networking event, empowers entrepreneurs by fostering meaningful connections and strategic opportunities. The event features engaging exhibitions, expert insights, and inspirational sessions, enabling businesses to expand their networks, accelerate growth, and learn from industry leaders.

This edition of Connect & Thrive, themed Built Local. Made to Scale., will explore how businesses can build on local success, strengthen their foundations, and position themselves for sustainable growth beyond their original market.

The session will unpack the realities of building for growth — from strengthening systems and operations to developing the right people, technology, brand and partnerships to support expansion. We’ll bring together entrepreneurs and business leaders to share how they started, what they had to change along the way, and the defining decisions that enabled them to grow beyond their original markets.

Ultimately, Built Local. Made to Scale. is about building businesses that are not only successful today, but equipped to grow, adapt and compete on a bigger stage.

Built here. Rooted here. Inspired here. Capable of going anywhere.
