This year we celebrate the 25th anniversary of the WBC Open Meetings which was formerly known as Bicester Business Breakfast Club! A great achievement I'm sure you'll agree.
We have one open meeting every month, except December, where we open our doors to all businesses that would like to enjoy a great breakfast, interesting speakers and grow their connections with lots of networking opportunities. Our members meet every week and if you ever consider joining us, we do accept guests for breakfast at these meetings too.
WBC Open Meeting 22nd January 2025 - Bicester Vision
Our open meetings are just that, open to all business categories. In general we have an interesting speaker from the public or private sector and on occasion from a local charity. The event offers plenty of time for networking, both before and after the event and a great breakfast. These meetings are a great place to further improve your network contacts and build on the connectivity between businesses locally. Guests are therefore very welcome to attend whether new to networking or a seasoned pro, we always look forward to meeting you.
