Business After Fives, or ba5s, are networking evenings hosted by Chamber member companies. Members use these low-key after five evenings to interactively promote their products and services while networking with Chamber guests.
ba5s take place at the host company's premises, and are enthusiastically supported by Chamber members. They provide the perfect opportunity for members to network, socialise, share experiences and make valuable business connections in a relaxed and informal atmosphere. Refreshments are served throughout the evening and the host often makes a brief presentation about their business.
Hosting a ba5 is an ideal way to involve others in your business activities. The Chamber organises and markets the event to a targeted list on your behalf, as well as promoting it online through www.hutt-chamber.org.nz and in an e-newsletter. Hosting companies are required to cover the mailout, venue and catering costs.
