A B2B function is hosted by a member organisation and is an opportunity to promote yourself, your products/services, and to network with fellow members and other selected guests.
Through our membership database the Employers' Chamber has the ability to target specific sector groups or you can advertise to the whole membership. Generally these events are aimed at smaller, more specific groups of members e.g from 30 to 70. This form of networking event often suits companies looking to focus on a specific sector group to inform them of their products/services.
Organisations targeted may include:
- Potential customers within an industry sector
- Potential customers by size of business (based on number of employees)
- Potential customers by selecting staff responsible for certain areas e.g international trade, finance etc.
- Potential customers by international trade status e.g exporters/importers to particular countries
The Canterbury Employers' Chamber of Commerce will
- Work with the host to prepare a marketing flyer for the event
- Work with the host to find a suitable venue to host the event
- Distribute the advertising flyer to all relevant members of the Employers' Chamber

Format:
- The function lasts on average one-and-a-half hours and can take the form of a breakfast (7:30am to 9:30am) or evening (5:30pm to 7:30pm) networking event either at the host's premises or another venue of their choice. Guests receive a presentation from the host around 30 minutes after arrival including product information and samples. Typically there is a business card draw, with a prize offered by the host.
