We offer Learning, networking and topical events.If you have never been a member of the Chamber you can book and join as a guest at two of our events (just one Chamber Breakfast).

No, thank you.Even the word networking can seem daunting, but here’s a secret: networking is just talking to people and asking good questions. Everyone has a story and there’s always something interesting you can say or ask.Making connections, helping people build a community (and have fun - yes, fun - doing it) is at the heart of what we do at Brighton Chamber. So, we’ve gathered all our hot tips together to help you create your business network and feel comfortable – dare we say, even enjoy – making new connections.In this whistlestop interactive session (in which there will be absolutely no role play under any circumstances) the Chamber’s own queen of networking, Amy Lishman, will guide you through the ins and outs of having great conversations that build relationships and help you find connections, opportunities and community.You’ll learn how to start and exit conversations, build rapport, talk about your business and your work with ease, and measure the impact of your networking.This session will transform your networking from obligation to opportunity.
