There is a great opportunity when becoming a member of The Business Community, you get the chance to book a 10-minute presentation slot at any of the business networking meetings. The only criteria is that it needs to be educational, not a sales pitch for your business - an ideal way to raise your profile within The Business Community and "show off" your knowledge and experience.
It doesn't have to be a Powerpoint presentation, screens/projectors and flipcharts are available at most venues or you could just orate without the use of either!
Tips for your presentation
- Share your knowledge/skill/advice
- If using slides – suggest no more than 10 (sometimes just standing up and presenting; maybe with a flipchart – can work better)
- No need to cover more than 5-7 points
- Allow some time for questions
- Consider handouts for delegates (at least in electronic format)
- Promote your presentation to people in your network so they can attend the meeting your at; in doing so raising your profile
Buscomm and the surrounding support and structure is an extremely valuable resource and method of finding new business. The various meetings are well structured and allow people to effectively network and meet new business contacts. I would definitely recommend BusComm to any small or medium sized businesses looking to find more work.

We have been members for several years and find each meeting informative, friendly yet professional. There are lots of different meetings you can visit within Northamptonshire and beyond so great value for money. Well worth a visit. Would definitely recommend The Business Community.

The Business Community is what is says on the tin - a real community of businesses from a whole range of sectors. The support the group offer each other is second to none and the networking groups are always fun and a joy to attend.
Jamie Cochrane - PBC Business Recovery
The Business Community is so much more than just a networking group, while the networking meetings are energising and fun, you get genuine community and support that I haven't experienced anywhere else. It's also brilliant value for money, reasonably price with extras that are very generous. I'd highly recommend.
