About this event
If you value honest conversation, strong local connections, and the chance to share a table with people who are actively shaping the business landscape in Brittany, this lunch is worth making time for. Déjeuner FFI Rennes Bretagne x Gilles ATTAF brings together the Rennes Bretagne community for an in-person moment designed to be both useful and genuinely enjoyable. This is not a formal conference or a crowded networking slot where everyone is rushing through introductions. It is a lunch gathering in Rennes built around exchange, proximity, and the opportunity to hear from and connect with Gilles ATTAF in a setting that encourages real discussion. About the Event Déjeuner FFI Rennes Bretagne x Gilles ATTAF is an in-person community meetup taking place in Rennes, France, on Wednesday, March 18 at 11:30 AM GMT+1. The format is simple and effective: bring together members of the FFI Rennes Bretagne network and adjacent professionals for a midday gathering that combines conversation, perspective, and relationship-building. Because this is a lunch format, the pace is different from a morning briefing or an evening mixer. People have time to sit down, listen carefully, ask better questions, and move beyond surface-level introductions. That makes it especially valuable if you prefer business events where the quality of the exchange matters as much as the number of people in the room. The presence of Gilles ATTAF gives this gathering a clear point of focus. Rather than attending a general social event with no center of gravity, you will be part of a meeting anchored by a guest whose perspective can spark discussion across entrepreneurship, leadership, community, and business development. This event also reflects what local professional communities do best: create a space where regional actors can meet in person, strengthen ties, and connect ideas to real opportunities. In a city like Rennes, that local dimension matters. It means conversations are more likely to lead to follow-up, collaboration, and continued involvement after the lunch ends. What to Expect You can expect a format that is structured enough to be worthwhile and relaxed enough to feel natural. While the exact flow may vary, the event is centered on a shared lunch experience, community interaction, and a chance to engage around the perspective brought by Gilles ATTAF. Likely moments during the gathering include: Arrival and welcome, with time to settle in and meet other attendees Introductions and informal networking with members of the Rennes Bretagne community A central exchange or discussion moment connected to Gilles ATTAF Table conversations that allow ideas to circulate in a more direct, personal way Follow-up discussions after the main moment, when the most useful contacts are often made This kind of lunch event works well because it creates multiple entry points into the conversation. You do not need to know everyone in the room in advance. You can arrive curious, listen first, and still leave with a few meaningful new connections. Expect a professional but approachable atmosphere. The tags around the event — community, networking, meetup, social — give a good sense of the balance: people are there to connect seriously, but not stiffly. The goal is not to perform; it is to exchange, learn, and build relationships that have substance. Why Attend If your calendar is full, this event earns its place by offering several kinds of value at once. First, it gives you access to a local professional community in a format that is easier to navigate than a large-scale event. A lunch table can often do more for your network than a long list of business cards. Second, it offers the chance to hear and react to a live perspective through the presence of Gilles ATTAF. Even a short in-person exchange can sharpen your thinking, help you test your own ideas, or open up a conversation you would not have had otherwise. These moments are especially useful when they happen close to home, with people you may realistically meet again. Third, this event is a good fit if you want regional relevance rather than generic networking. Being in Rennes, with a Bretagne community focus, changes the quality of the interaction. You are more likely to meet people who understand the local ecosystem, share common reference points, and can connect discussion to the realities of doing business, building projects, or growing a network in the area. Attending can help you: Expand your network in a more natural, face-to-face setting Meet members of the FFI Rennes Bretagne community and strengthen local visibility Gain perspective from a guest-centered discussion rather than only peer-to-peer small talk Start conversations that can continue after the event, whether around partnerships, introductions, or future meetups Use your lunchtime well, with a format that is social, focused, and professionally relevant Practical Details The event takes place in person in Rennes, France, making it ideal for attendees based in Rennes or able to travel in for a midday gathering. Because the format is local and face-to-face, it is best approached as a real presence event: come prepared to engage, introduce yourself, and stay present through the lunch conversation. Date and time: Wednesday, March 18 at 11:30 AM GMT+1. A midday start means you should plan your schedule accordingly, especially if you are coming from another part of the city or region. Arriving on time will help you make the most of the welcome and early introductions, which often set the tone for the rest of the event. A few practical ways to prepare: Bring a clear introduction of who you are and what you do Be ready to listen as much as you speak; lunch formats reward thoughtful conversation Leave room in your schedule after the event if possible in case useful discussions continue naturally Come with one or two specific topics or questions in mind if you want to make your conversations more productive If you are looking for an event in Rennes that combines community, business conversation, and a more grounded style of networking, this lunch is a strong choice. It offers the right setting to reconnect with familiar faces, meet new ones, and take part in a professional exchange that feels local, relevant, and well worth your time.
