Build your Chamber. Build your Brand.

Know a great business that should be part of the Geelong Chamber community? 

This is your opportunity to invite them in and potentially put your own business in the spotlight. 

Refer a business that joins the Chamber during this campaign and you could win 1 of 3 co-sponsor opportunities at our May After 5 event. 

Strong business communities are built by businesses backing each other. 

Your Referral Could Put Your Business in the Spotlight

If a business you refer joins the Chamber during the campaign period, you’ll go into the draw to win 1 of 3 co-sponsor opportunities at our May After 5 event.

Our After 5 events regularly bring together 150+ businesses from across the Geelong region, making them one of the Chamber’s most valuable networking opportunities.

As a May After 5 Co-Sponsor, you’ll receive:

• Recognition as an official event co-sponsor
• A short speaking opportunity at the event
• Brand exposure across event marketing before, during and after the event
• The chance to connect directly with 150+ local businesses

It’s a powerful opportunity to put your business in front of the Geelong business community.

And the opportunity doesn’t stop there.

If a business joins the Chamber through your referral during the campaign period, they can also take part by sharing the referral link with other businesses they believe would benefit from joining the Chamber.

That means one introduction can create many more, helping grow stronger connections across the Geelong business community.

Why Businesses Join the Geelong Chamber

When I joined the Chamber as a solopreneur, I had big dreams but no local network. The Chamber’s events, support and connections helped me grow into a multinational business. It’s been a vital part of my journey.
