What’s our jam?

You don't have to own your own business (but it’s cool if you do) or be an entrepreneur, you just need to be open to meeting new people, listening to their tales, connecting differently and sharing ideas. 

We’re not leeches… so our members are not about sucking the business (or life) out of you. We work together to help our members solve problems, build their businesses, further their careers or develop themselves. We give people a platform to tell their story and make valuable connections. 

—  What makes BIO different?  —
We take the time to find out what your goals are, then help you get there. We make sure the right people are in the room so your time isn’t wasted - and you’re not super bored. We make our events interesting and a little quirky - like holding them in a [insert cool location]. 

In short, we’re doing things a little differently. That’s why we’re By Invitation Only.

—  Try something new  —

Meet people, get inspired, experience something a little different.

From the people you meet to the nibbles you nibble, at BIO we’re big into the little details. We are fanatical about all the facets that come together to make a brilliant meet up, because if you feel at home - you’re more likely to be yourself.

—  WHERE WE MEet  —

Unique locations to spark ideas & forge connections.

Board rooms can be boring, as can spaces that are vast and sterile. We spend much of our working-lives in uninspiring locations, so why spend your precious non-working hours there too? We don’t think you should, that’s why we hand pick interesting locations that spark creativity and conversation.

Always changing and always interesting.

—  Some of our local haunts  —
Tailors / Bars / Galleries / Private Dining Rooms / Shared Work Spaces

—  Bright ideas  —

We bring the content to inform & inspire.

Talking’s great, but sometimes so is listening. To make sure each BIO event is interesting, we introduce you to our host for the night. This person will take us on a journey throughout the meet-up and talk briefly on a trending subject that sparks interest. From wine-makers to corporate giants we’ve cherry picked topics that are relevant to all businesses - from retaining your talent to the ever looming robots and AI tech, there’s a little something for everyone.

—  Recent hot topics  —
Leadership & Development / Human Centered Design / Getting to your ‘Why’ / AI Intelligence / Social Selling

—  cHOW DOWN  —

Nibbles worth nibbling & drinks worth sipping.

There’s no worse feeling than when you turn up to an event expecting food, and then you find out that there’s only stale crackers… or worse yet, nothing at all. We know that part of feeling comfortable and at home, is being well fed and watered - so we bring the goods every time. And they’re delicious.

—  Break it down  —
Like our locations, we change up our caterers all the time so no one get’s bored. Here’s an idea of the type of bites you can expect. Breakfast meets / pastries, savoury bites, fruits and your caffeine fix of tea or coffee. Evening meets / mini sandwiches, charcuterie & cheese boards, fruits, nuts & snackable bites. Hydration / wine, beer, soft drinks and water.

—  The tale  —

We’re all about the journey.

We’ve ditched swapping business cards* and traded it for learning about people behind the Titles, because we’re all about the journey. And the stories along the way. We’ve found the conversation is a lot more interesting that way.
*sometimes, if we’re in the mood, we may actually swap business cards. 

—  What does this mean?  —
Be yourself, you’re you - not your Company
Keep the chat interesting
We don’t use name tags, because, well… just ask!
