About Brisbane Business Bayside Meetings

All meetings are open to anyone who would like to attend, unless indicated otherwise. Ticket prices shown are for non-members. Members get a significant discount on most events (usually 50%). See more about how our meetings are different below.

Most meetings feature a guest speaker who gives a (very) short talk – 20-30 mins – on some aspect of business, information, technology, while you have something to eat. The speaker’s brief is quite broad, and we ask all our speakers to give at least two ‘nuggets’ of information that attendees can go away and implement in their businesses for free (ie you don’t need to engage the speaker’s services!).

In the online booking process we ask you for some details on you and your business so we can introduce you to the group at the start of the meeting. For breakfast meetings you also order your choice of food and drink when booking (this is of course included in the ticket price) to save precious time at the meeting itself.

How are our meetings different?

It is clear that many people who come along to business meetings are keen to meet new business contacts, but have limited time available for these meetings, whether during or outside business hours. Some events can also become bogged down in announcements and other business when many attendees just want the chance to meet other business people. Brisbane Business Bayside networking meetings are different in the following ways…

  • A short core meeting timeframe (1 hour, except for lunch meetings), but with the option of arriving early and staying after the main event
  • All registration information – food/drink choices (for breakfast meetings), brief description of your business (‘elevator pitch’) and payment – completed online via an online booking system – saving precious time at the meeting
  • Attendance limited in number (generally no more than 30 attendees)
  • All attendees announced (and business description given in registration process read out) by an MC (this takes around 10mins) – so everyone knows who is in the room
  • A speaker (sometimes a current member) talks about an aspect of business they have experienced or are expert in. The rule is that they must not merely ‘spruik’ their business but must give at least two nuggets of information that would be useful to any business and that does not require a business to become a customer of theirs. Talk is for 20-30mins
  • Around thirty minutes remain for networking
  • Event officially ends one hour after it starts, although attendees are welcome to arrive earlier/stay later
  • Most networking events are ‘stand up’ events ie cocktail style – if a morning meeting, breakfast includes a drink and eg a croissant/bun etc, after work events, depending on location include a drink and canapé style food
  • Meetings are generally held at Brisbane Business Bayside member locations, and Brisbane Business Bayside and the host member split the cost of providing food/drink
  • At least one meeting is held every month – either at breakfast, mid morning, over lunch or after work – and, when events are fully booked anyone on the waiting list is automatically registered for the following event ahead of other registrations
