About Us

About The Christchurch Business Club

The Christchurch Business Club exists to host events that connect and provide business members with a collegial and enjoyable environment in which to network with a wide variety of like- minded interests.

The Club’s activities centre around CBC CONVERSATIONS, which include monthly luncheons, breakfast meetings and ‘business after 5’ events where keynote speakers from major New Zealand businesses, national and local government, strategic infrastructure, and community organisations discuss current topics with members. The venue for many of these events is The Canterbury Club, and our active membership is drawn from a wide cross-section of the Canterbury business community.

Becoming a member

Being a member of the Christchurch Business Club offers you a number of benefits unequalled anywhere in New Zealand.

 

The Christchurch Business Club is where Canterbury business owners can attend meetings and other events, in a relaxed collegiate atmosphere while gaining valuable business insights of interest to  both them and their business.
