Leicestershire-based entrepreneur to support businesses at UK-wide Hashtag 10 festival
A Leicestershire based entrepreneur will be supporting business owners from across the UK as part of a national business festival celebrating ten years of community led networking.
Estelle Keeber, founder of Immortal Monkey and a PR and visibility specialist, will be speaking at Hashtag 10, a week-long live business festival marking ten years of Hashtag Events. The festival begins on Monday, January 12 and brings together speakers and business owners from across the UK to focus on practical support, learning and meaningful connection.
Hashtag 10 features two live sessions each day, covering some of the most popular and impactful business topics from the past decade. The live format is designed to encourage real interaction and conversation, with recordings released later through Hashtag’s online platforms.
Estelle will be delivering a live session on Friday, January 16 at 10am, focusing on PR and visibility. Her session will help business owners understand how to raise their profile, build credibility and attract opportunities through media coverage, without needing large marketing budgets.
Speaking ahead of the event, Estelle said: “Small business owners are often trying to do everything at once. Events like Hashtag 10 really matter because they offer practical support and genuine connection, rather than adding more noise. It’s about helping people feel supported and confident in what they’re building.”
Hashtag Events was founded to offer a different approach to networking, prioritising quality connections over crowded rooms. Over the past ten years, the community has delivered more than 300 events and welcomed over 52,000 attendees, supporting thousands of business owners nationwide.
Alongside Estelle, the Hashtag 10 programme includes speakers such as Sam Rathling, who is delivering The Ultimate LinkedIn Masterclass, Steven J Innes, who will co-host a B2B networking session, and Stefan Thomas, a best-selling author sharing insights on building stronger professional connections.
Organisers say the festival is designed to reflect how business owners want to engage today, with a focus on collaboration, learning and long-term value rather than volume.
Estelle added: “Being part of a programme like this shows what’s possible when business communities are built on trust and shared experience. I’m proud to be representing Melton while supporting business owners both locally and nationally.”
