PLEASE NOTE: This event has now sold out. Stay tuned for twitter updates on the night from @StylistMagazine.

If you've got a small business, or even just an idea, Stylist's next event will give you the inspiration, practical tips and networking opportunity to take it from a seed to a global brand.

On the evening of 20 September we will be discussing how to write a press release, how to get your brand into the press, how to use social media to really market your brand as well as a lot more information on expert brand-building.

Packed with useful tips and practical workshops (as well as our usual wine and canapés), this is going to be an inspiring and useful night. Plus, for the first time ever, you will have the opportunity to pitch your idea directly to Stylist at the Style List desk. Bring your product or idea and have your elevator pitch ready and see if you can make it into a future issue of Stylist on our iconic shopping pages.

Joining Stylist on the night will be beauty pioneer Jo Malone, founder of fragrance brand Jo Loves (joloves.com), Eimear Lambe, Twitter's small-business expert, communications specialist Vikki Chowney and a member of the Stylist team to advise on the best way to secure media coverage.

The Agenda

• Enjoy canapés and bubbly at the May Fair hotel (themayfairhotel. co.uk) while you mingle with other Stylist networkers.

• Four expert panellists will share their experiences followed by a Q&A session.

• A special email containing the best advice given on the night will be emailed to you after the event.
