Business networking goes digital for Antrim and Newtownabbey businesses

Northern Ireland Chamber of Commerce and Industry (NI Chamber) is inviting local business people and entrepreneurs to attend its next NIE Networks Regional Networking event which will be held this month.

The business support organisation has teamed up with Antrim and Newtownabbey Borough Council to deliver a networking event for businesses across the council area.

Hosted on a new and interactive digital platform, it is designed to replicate the in-person networking experience, with the ability to choose where and who you ‘sit’ with.

Delegates also have the option to move between tables, exchange contact details and deliver an elevator pitch with other guests.

Attendees will also have the opportunity to hear an expert panel discuss the challenges and opportunities facing businesses as we move into a period of post-Covid rejuvenation.

That panel will include Mark Campbell CBE, Senior Manager at Randox Laboratories, Stephen Crawford, Sales Director at Outsource Solutions and Majella McAllister, Director of Economic Development and Planning, Antrim & Newtownabbey Borough Council.

This event is free to attend for all local businesses and will take place on Thursday, March 11 at 9.30am.

Registration is required but visiting northernirelandchamber.com.
