Networking events in Brighton & Hove

Grow your network, meet new people, and connect with like-minded businesses at our networking events. You could come along to one of our monthly Chamber Breakfasts or Pop-up Breakfasts, or perhaps our more structured Slo-mo Networking is more your speed?

Our Behind the Scenes offer a glimpse at different places around our city, and our Socials are great for relaxed, in-person networking. If you’re new to the Chamber, our New Member Welcome events help you to find out who’s in the Chamber, and what you can do with your membership.

So, to find out what’s coming up, visit our events page.

Chamber Breakfasts

Chamber Breakfasts are held in person every month, bringing together a wide range of businesses. With 70+ attendees, there are lots of opportunities to meet people and network, followed by a sit-down breakfast and a different, thought-provoking speaker every month. It all adds up to a thoroughly stimulating start to the day.

The Chamber team and our ambassadors are on hand to welcome new members and help with introductions.

Why should you attend?

Make new connections through informal networking.
Get an introduction if there’s someone you’d like to meet.
Find new local customers and suppliers.
An excellent breakfast with like-minded people at a local venue.

Pop-up Breakfasts

Once a quarter, our in-person monthly Breakfast is held at a new and exciting venue (and a little later in the morning!). Pop-up Breakfasts, as their name suggests, take place at different venues all over the city - many of them special places in their own right. They attract 40-50 attendees and are perfect for easy, friendly networking.

Like the Chamber Breakfast, Pop-ups offer a stimulating speaker, excellent opportunities to connect with others, and a delicious, cooked breakfast.

Why should you attend?

Access a wide range of businesses to network with.
An opportunity to learn and hear from an inspiring Brighton business.
Later start, if you’re busy first thing.
Different quirky venues in the city – try somewhere new each time.

Slo-mo Networking

If you like your networking to be structured without being regimented, and pacey without being frenetic, our in-person and virtual Slo-mo events are for you. It’s speed-networking, but at a more relaxed pace. You’ll get to talk about your business, moving around in small groups with other attendees, and we’ll facilitate quality introductions to any other businesses you’d like to meet.

Why should you attend?

Structured and facilitated networking.
The opportunity to share your business journey with like-minded people, answering key questions to help you create meaningful connections.
Set up to maximise the number of people you meet.
Great for people who want to focus on building networks quickly and efficiently.

Chamber socials

Our in-person socials are smaller, relaxed events - from wine and beer tasting to poker and summer parties, these evening events are a fun, easy way to get to know people, and ideal for building relationships.

Why should you attend?

Socially focused with no speaker – just the chance to make connections, build good business relationships and have fun.
Often in the evening – ideal if you aren’t an early bird or can’t spare time from work.

Behind the Scenes tours

These popular member-only events give you privileged access to visit exciting or historical places around the city, from the Theatre Royal and the Pavilion to the Brighton Sewers and Shoreham Port. With an interesting focus, you’ll learn something new and make some great in person connections in a different and informal way.

Why should you attend?

Enjoy a fun and informative visit to an interesting place in Brighton.
A rare chance to go behind the scenes at some of our best-loved venues.
More relaxed networking in a smaller group.

New Member Welcome

This is our ‘welcome to the Chamber’ event for new members, new employees, those we haven't seen for a while and members who simply want to find out more. You’ll meet between 10-20 members and get the chance to ask Chamber ambassadors how they’ve made the most of their membership.

Why should you attend?

Find out how to make the most of your membership.
Meet new and existing members and start building your Chamber network.
Meet Chamber ambassadors – people who have been involved for a while and know the Chamber well – and have a chance to ask them questions.

Netwalking

Netwalking combines walking, talking and networking, somewhere in and around our beautiful city. These events are great for relaxed chats and easy-going connections with other Chamber members. We run Netwalking events almost every month from February to October, anywhere from Shoreham to Devil’s Dyke – whatever the weather!

Why should you attend?

Walk, talk and discover new areas around Brighton and Hove.
A friendly and relaxed environment for having in-depth conversations and creating meaningful relationships.
