Brisbane is a great place for businesses to thrive. Whether you are managing a big firm or building a startup, there are plenty of business events that can help you grow your local network.

When meeting new people at a networking event, remember to be relaxed and friendly. Other members may feel just as nervous as you do, so try to be helpful and supportive. Here are some of the events held at The Brisbane Club to enjoy networking.

Whether you’re a business owner looking for a new client or just want to increase your visibility, business networking can help. There are a variety of different networking events and meeting-styles to suit your needs, from large conferences to smaller, more casual meetings. Whether you’re managing a large corporation or just starting out, these events can provide the opportunity to meet like-minded people and grow your network.

In a world where there are many different tools and ways to get ahead, there’s still one time-honed method that continues to work: business networking. By attending networking events, you can build relationships with other local businesses and generate leads and referrals for your business. With the right approach, you can increase your business’s visibility and profitability.

The Brisbane City Council, with Your Marketing Machines, is delivering free workshops that will help you develop your business and make connections. These workshops are designed to help you create a strategy for growth and sustainability in your business. The workshops include a business assessment, one-on-one advice sessions with an experienced mentor, and a workshop session on how to make the most of social media.

League of Extraordinary Women

Whether you manage a big firm or are planning to build your own startup, business events can help you connect with like minded people. From huge summits to more casual business luncheons, there are many opportunities for networking in Brisbane. Business events are a great way to meet potential partners and customers and can also be a good source of information on new trends in the industry. For example, the AusBiotech conference brings together biotech leaders to discuss the challenges and opportunities for the sector. Another important event is the Orebodies conference which helps discuss critical issues such as mineral supply and solutions for developing orebodies.

The League of Extraordinary Women is an organization that inspires and connects high-achieving women business owners and entrepreneurs. The league offers a wide range of benefits, including free access to business events and support. In addition to these benefits, the league also hosts regular workshops and classes to provide women with the skills they need to succeed.

One of the most powerful marketing tools available to businesses is referrals. A client or customer who is referred by a friend or colleague has already expressed trust in the product or service you offer, and is much more likely to be converted into a paying customer. NRG’s Brisbane business networkers group can help you generate qualified, quality referrals by connecting you with other business owners and professionals in your community.

Business Chicks

Business Chicks is Australia’s largest and most influential female-led community. It aims to give women the connections and experiences they need to lead bold lives. It also promotes gender equality and empowers women to take a more active role in their businesses. Its members also raise money for charity and advocate for women’s rights in business and society.

Emma Isaacs, owner and global CEO of Business Chicks, has been a driving force in empowering women in the workplace for more than 17 years. She has grown the brand to become a powerful community and event business with a range of benefits for its members, including online master classes, events and a platform for members to connect.

Isaacs’s decision to make 13 staff redundant this week was met with protests from many members. She has since clarified that she is only reducing the headcount by one. The Business Chicks website remains live, and the organisation continues to sign up members.

Whitetower worked closely with Business Chicks during the COVID lockdown to intergrate their digital platforms, delivering a robust and engaging membership and event management solution that included online ticketing, advanced goal and event tracking, and PPC advertising campaigns. The result was a significant increase in online conversions and new revenue for the business. This led to the business coming out of the lockdown even stronger, with a stronger technical foundation and a clear vision for future growth.
