Business Events & Networking Opportunities for Members

This video focuses on how GBCC events help members build meaningful connections and create real commercial outcomes.

It explains the range of events available—covering networking, learning, and topic-led sessions—so businesses can meet peers, potential customers, and partners across the Greater Birmingham region. The video emphasises that events aren’t only for “general networking”; they’re a structured way to build relationships, stay informed on key business issues, and keep your organisation visible within the local business community.

You’ll learn how to choose the right format for your goals: smaller sessions for deeper conversations, larger events for broad reach, and specialist gatherings when you need contacts in a specific sector or theme.

The video also gives practical advice on getting value from attendance—planning who you want to meet, preparing a clear introduction, following up quickly, and using repeat attendance to build familiarity and trust. Overall, it positions events as a consistent pipeline activity: over time, regular participation can lead to referrals, collaborations, and new opportunities that are difficult to generate through digital outreach alone.
