What's on For 2010?

Whats on: Nillumbik HomeBiz Network Events

The aim of the Nillumbik HomeBiz Network is to facilitate home based business people to get together, share ideas and knowledge, network, inspire each other and access professional development opportunities relevant to the home business sector. We run monthly nightime meetings, breakfast meetings and other special events.

Network meetings (evenings) attract up to 50 people, are always friendly and informal and take the form of a guest speaker, workshop or panel discussion followed by the chance to mingle and chat over a light supper. These are held the 3rd Thursday of each month.

Breakfast meetings in Hurstbridge attract between 6-12 members, and are a chance for a more intimate discussion of business issues and challenges. These are held alternate Wednesdays.

Business Breakfast Meetings in Eltham attract anything up to 30 participants. These are open to the wider community as well as HomeBiz members. Each meeting will revolve around a theme with a guest speaker. There will also be opportunity to meet and chat with other business owners. These are held the 4th Tuesday of each month.

Business Lunch Meetings in Kangaroo Ground and Warrandyte - see below for more detail. These lunch meetings are informal and a chance for people to meet other HomeBiz members who may have similar business issues.

Below are HomeBiz events coming up.

Speed Networking Night #3

16-9-10

Back by popular demand - you asked for it so we brought it to you! Speed Networking #3!

The Speed Networking night is a real opportunity to make some new connections that will help you build your business referral base.

Speed Networking involves people meeting each other one at a time for a short interval and then moving on to the next person in line. It’s a fairly structured way to meet other business people and creates a different environment to the usual networking events.

It’s a bit like speed dating with one key difference. The purpose of Speed Networking is not to eliminate potential business contacts. Rather it is to meet a wide variety of people, even those with whom you may think you have nothing in common with, and form a connection that may at some stage develop into a mutually beneficial business relationship.
