Welcome to the MD2MD Meeting information page.
We provide four online meetings and six in person meetings a year. The online meetings take place from 9:30am to 11:00am via Zoom, a link will be provided in your calendar invite.
Our in-person meetings are all day, starting with a morning expert led workshop and followed by an afternoon Leadership Roundtable which usually take place in the London or Birmingham area. Please check your diary invites for the specific location. If you would be willing to host a meeting, do let us know, as we’d love to hear from you.
Please see below for the full list of meeting dates and to join the WhatsApp Group.
Please ensure you download the meeting dates (links are towards the end of this page) to your work calendar and make a point of attending both the online and in-person meetings. These are valuable opportunities to work on your business, not in it, and to support fellow members who may benefit from your input on their challenges.
MD2MD encourages engagement between members and speakers outside of meetings as well. If you’d like to be connected to someone, simply ask your meeting manager to make the introduction. We’ll always connect members via email, allowing you to share phone numbers as you prefer.
MD2MD Online Events
Don’t forget, your membership entitles you and your senior leadership team to unlimited access to our online events, including workshops and hot topic groups. To find out what events we have coming up and to book a space, please follow the link below.
MD2MD Online EventsBetween meetings:
MD2MD aims to be a helpful source of information and contacts for members so if you need to know something or someone or need some service and think we might be able to point you in the right direction, please ask.
MD2MD also endeavours to be there when you need us. So if you have anything on your mind that you’d like to run past someone independent and detached, yet supportive and experienced, please ask your group manager and if they can’t help you themselves, they will endeavour to connect you with someone who can.
There is no additional fee for the quick, high-value, remote support MD2MD provides for members. It is part of the service.
If you need more in-depth support, we also offer a Business coach and mentoring service which fully complements the collaborative learning of the group meetings. Further details can be found below.
