Connect with like-minded businesswomen
Looking for a structured yet relaxed way to build business connections with other businesswomen? If so, our Professional Networking Nights are for you!
Whether you're a corporate high flyer, business owner, entrepreneur, fresh out of Uni or launching yourself back into the workforce, it's your opportunity to gain top networking tips from an expert and put them into practise throughout the evening.
We're conscious that some may approach a networking event with trepidation. Aware of this, our Professional Networking Nights are a mix of facilitated networking and casual chatter over a glass of wine and canapes. The vibe is very much about like-minded women reaching out to one another sharing contacts, knowledge and experiences.
"This was my first networking event in about 7 years. I had forgotten how much I got out of networking and meeting people. It was a great evening and I had so much fun. I have been encouraging people in my workplace to attend the next event. Many thanks Business Chicks!" D Simonsen, BNY Mellon Australia Pty Ltd
"The Business Chicks networking evening was a well organised and a very positive environment for women to network in. It was a relaxed environment and I thoroughly enjoyed watching so many women reaching out to each other" A Kirby, TMS Group
