Event Recap: New Connections Sparked at December’s "Discover Your Chamber"

The energy at 244 Pall Mall St. was electric yesterday evening as we welcomed the newest additions to the London business community for our December “Discover Your Chamber” event.

Designed exclusively for members who have joined within the past year, these evenings are among our favorite events to host. They remind us that the London business landscape is constantly evolving, growing, and diversifying.

Cocktails & Camaraderie From 4:00 PM to 5:30 PM, the Chamber board room was transformed into a hub of conversation. It was a pleasure to see so many new faces connecting not just with our staff, but with one another. Building a business network starts with that first handshake (and a great cocktail!), and last night, the foundations for many future collaborations were certainly laid.

The 90-Second Spotlight The highlight of the evening was, without a doubt, the elevator pitches. We asked our attendees to come prepared to shine, and they delivered.

Standing up to summarize your business’s passion and purpose in just 90 seconds is no small feat. We heard from a wide variety of industries, proving that whether you are in tech, retail, service, or manufacturing, the challenges and triumphs of doing business in London are shared experiences.

Unlocking Membership Benefits While networking is vital, understanding how to use your Chamber membership is the key to ROI. Our team, led by Andrew Groves, took the opportunity to walk members through the toolkit available to them, including:

Advocacy: How we amplify the voice of business to government.
Savings: Exclusive discounts through our affinity programs.
Visibility: Opportunities to showcase their brands to the wider London community.

Welcome to the Family To everyone who attended last night: Thank you for bringing your enthusiasm and your stories. We are thrilled to have you as part of the London Chamber of Commerce.

Missed this one? If you are a new member (joined within the last 12 months) and haven’t yet attended a “Discover” event, we strongly encourage you to catch the next one. It is the best way to hit the ground running with your membership.
