Who attends

There is a diverse range of businesses that attend, pretty much covering all sectors.

The target audience for the #BusComm business networking meetings are small business owners who are looking to grow their business; however all businesses are welcome to attend.

Typically there will be a core of regular members who come along and usually a couple of visitors.

If there are particular businesses that you would be interested in meeting, then get in touch and let the group leader know who you are ideally looking to be connected with.

Should you become a member, then you will get attendee lists sent to you the day before the meeting.

You can also book future 1-2-1s with other attendees at your first meeting.

Here is a quick video with the breakdown of the community from a recent member survey:

So how can you make the most out of these networking groups?

<p>I'm a long-term member of a national networking group. I've now also joined BusComm and I'm finding it a <strong>breath of fresh air</strong>. A <strong>very welcoming and supportive atmosphere</strong> where the focus seems to be about helping each other instead of sell, sell, sell. BusComm meetings don't take themselves too seriously but are still <strong>professional and informative</strong>.</p>

<p><strong>Friendly atmosphere</strong> - people don't take themselves too seriously, there are laughs and jokes mixed in with a genuine sense that everybody is looking out for each other. <strong>Good structure to the meetings</strong> - they are <strong>not too formal or overly casual</strong> and a great place to pick up tips (not always business-related). Free courses for members - I have been on several courses put on by other members and <strong>always come away having learnt something useful</strong>.</p>
