Welcome to Talk Business Networking weekly events
We’re a Christchurch-based business networking group — but not the usual kind. Here, connection comes before leads, and learning comes through discussion.
Every session is practical, welcoming, and open to anyone curious about business — whether you own one, work in one, are studying, starting out, or were sent by your manager to get inspired. We meet weekly to introduce ourselves, explore a real business topic, and share ideas in small groups.
Why Talk Business Networking exists – Our Purpose
We believe business works better when people connect. Not just to trade business cards, but to explore ideas, share challenges, and celebrate successes. We value thoughtful conversations, different perspectives, and practical takeaways.
Talk Business is for anyone who wants to learn from others, go deeper than surface-level chat, and grow personally and professionally in a relaxed but useful way.


Who comes to Talk Business Networking?
There’s no hierarchy here. Everyone has experience — whether running a business, working in one, studying, or just starting out. Some come for support, others to share what they know, and many just to see what happens.
If you’re interested in business and like bouncing around ideas, you’re welcome.
What does it cost to attend Talk Business Networking?
Unlike most networking groups, Talk Business is basically free. A small $5 donation helps cover costs, but our priority is building something useful and community-driven.
One day we might grow into a real business. For now, we’re enjoying building something from scratch, seeing what works, and having fun doing it.
