Members of The West of England Initiative have the opportunity to join us and meet fellow members through quarterly formal evening events and regular lunch briefings.
Initiative Evenings
Members meet formally four times a year in our quarterly evening meetings. These formal events are a great opportunity to collaborate with other influential organisations, listen to inspiring presentations from international dignitaries, and to discuss the latest policies and projects taking place in the city region.
Briefing Lunches
The Initiative also meets every month for briefing lunches which focus on key local issues in the region. These meetings are a great opportunity for businesses to get involved and express their views on key local and regional issues; views which can subsequently be represented by us at key strategic and local partnerships and Chamber Committees.
These main events are by invite only, however, we run and support a variety of open events throughout the region.

West of England Initiative Meeting - invite only
Through these challenging times we have been meeting fortnightly and are aiming to ensure that both our Initiative and chamber members are connected, well informed with the current and key issues facing them and our city region and that we are best able to pull together as a strong community of business and community leaders.
