Chamber Events

The purpose of the Eastern Bay Chamber of Commerce Events is to bring various professionals and business together to discuss their successes, and even their failures. This is an excellent way for us to advocate for our members. Our local chamber events will help you stay up to date on what is happening in our community and will allow you to form relationships with business owners like you.

 

Business After 5 (BA5)

BA5 events are hosted by our members and organisations throughout the Eastern Bay, Generally hosted at the members venue these are fantastic networking events coordinated by the Chamber. They provide valuable opportunities to educate the market on your business and meet with other professionals. Members use these low-key after five evenings to interactively promote their products and services while networking with Chamber guests.

They provide the perfect opportunity for members to network, socialise, share experiences and make valuable business connections in a relaxed and informal atmosphere. Refreshments are served throughout the evening and the host makes a brief presentation about their business.

Hosting a BA5 is an ideal way to involve others in your business activities. The Chamber organises and markets the event on your behalf, promoting it online through the Eastern Bay Chamber website and in an e-newsletter. Hosting members are required to cover the venue and catering costs.
