How is Connected Business different from other networking groups?

We don’t just network, we promote with purpose. Your brand is actively championed across newsletters, socials, and events. Connected Business also benefits from the wider audience of Connected Brighton, our Connected Social Club, and our Tourism Alliance/Visitor Brighton activities.

Do I have to attend every event?

No. Your business is promoted online and within the community whether or not you’re in the room. However, the more visible you are in the community the bigger the rewards!

Do I need to attend both Social and Business events?

Not at all. You get Social Club access as part of your membership, so you can choose what suits you. (Though we do recommend both, you’ll meet more people and have fun doing it!)

What if my industry already has a VIP member?

VIP is limited to one per industry. But providing there is availability you can still join as an Essentials/Premium member. NB We do limit the number of brands per sector to ensure breadth for our audience without overloading or drowning out the brands we champion.

Do you offer charity or hospitality rates?

Yes. Discounted memberships are available for community brands, please speak to us directly.
