Being an IW Chamber member means you’re well connected!
Every month we offer a wide range of opportunities for you to network with like-minded Island businesses. It’s a great way to meet new customers and clients, to promote your business or to catch up with existing contacts.
Our monthly Friday Business Networking Breakfast is long established as a great way to meet business people over a Full English breakfast, along with a guest speaker on a relevant subject.
You can also try our monthly Tea and Toast informal networking sessions which are free to attend. Our three venues are Artisan in Ryde, Caffe Isola in Newport and the Slug and Lettuce in Newport. See our events listings for dates.
We’re conscious that early mornings aren’t for everyone, so look out for our lunchtime and evening events too.
Each year the Chamber delivers prestigious business events including the Business Awards in November, the B2B Expo in July at the Lakeside Park in Wootton and the Cowes Week BBQ and drinks party, all of which can provide opportunities for sponsorship and entertaining key clients. Keep an eye on our listings and social media for news of even more exciting events in 2020.
You’ll need to reserve your place in advance for any of our events. If there’s a charge for the event you’ll pay in advance via Paypal. To book on any of our events please click on the relevant link which will take you to the online booking process.
These events are for Chamber members only unless otherwise specified.
