Zoom Around the Room: Online Business Networking with Business West

Networking doesn't have to mean walking into a room full of strangers and wondering where to start. Business West Chamber's Zoom Around the Room makes it easier to meet other businesses through a relaxed, structured online networking session.

 

You'll meet people from a range of sectors and business sizes, with plenty of opportunity to introduce your business and find out what others do. It's open to our Chamber members, along with local businesses, including regular networkers and anyone trying online networking for the first time.

 

What is Zoom Around the Room?

 

Zoom Around the Room is a virtual business networking event hosted by Business West Chambers of Commerce. Using small breakout rooms, it gives you the chance to speak directly with other businesses rather than simply listening to a series of presentations.

You might meet a potential new customer, find a useful business contact or discover an opportunity to work with another local company. And because it's online, you can take part wherever you're based.

 

What to expect at our online networking events

 

Each Zoom Around the Room session follows a simple format, giving everyone the chance to meet several different businesses during the event.

 

  • Welcome and introductions: Once we've welcomed everyone to the meeting, you'll be placed into a small breakout room with 3–7 other companies for roundtable-style networking. You'll have one minute to introduce yourself and promote your business.
  • Membership update: You'll hear a short update from our Chamber membership team.
  • More networking: For the remainder of the session, you'll have a further two opportunities to meet more people in new breakout rooms.

The event is fully funded, so there's no cost to attend. You'll have the chance to make new business contacts, raise your profile and potentially open the door to referrals, investment opportunities and future partnerships.

 

Do I need to be a Business West Chamber member to attend?

 

No. Our Zoom Around the Room networking events are open to non-members as well as existing Chamber members. We welcome businesses of all sizes and from all sectors.

If you would like to find out more about becoming a Chamber member, you can contact our membership team by email or find out more about Business West Chamber membership.

 

A further benefit of Chamber membership is access to the full attendee list after the event, including email addresses for those who have agreed to share their details. This makes it easier to follow up with the people you've met and continue building those business connections.

Testimonial from previous attendee reads: “This was my first Zoom Around the Room event, and I genuinely enjoyed it.   I’ve already had some lovely follow-up conversations with people I met through the session, so it was definitely worthwhile.”
