Breakfasts
‘Business @ Breakfast’ would normally start at 7.30 and usually be a forum for a guest speaker. Breakfast would be held first followed by the speaker and would conclude between 8.30am and 9.00am depending on the audience participation for questions. These are sometimes held if the speaker is unable to present at a BA5 or at an evening event. Speakers at breakfast are normally from out of the region and could be visiting Businesses, Politicians, or Diplomats.
Luncheons
‘Business @ Lunch’ follows the same lines as ‘Business @ Breakfast’ only it’s at lunch! This is often used as an official forum for formal occasions such as hosting a Trade mission, visiting Diplomats, or Dignitaries. Business After 5
A Business after five (BA5) event is an ideal way to network.
The underlying concept is a semi informal occasion to socially interact while making contacts and expand your horizons and knowledge. This forum can be sector focused such as export, retail, manufacturing or other; it can sometimes have a guest speaker and can be on a business premise or at a catering venue. A BA5 is often hosted by a member organisation and is an opportunity for that member to promote themselves and their services/products. Often there events are free for members to attend but occasionally there is a minimal cost. These events have been held in factories, offices, museums, workshops, warehouses, TV & radio stations, training centres, even on ships at Bluff port and boats at sea.
