Frequently asked questions

Do I have to be a member to come to this event?

Not at all! We love to welcome new visitors to all of our meetings. We only ask that if you really enjoy our networking and want to keep coming back, that after three non-member visits you join ebn as a member.

Is there an additional cost for breakfast at the meeting?

No again! The cost you see on eventbrite includes your breakfast and drinks at the venue.

Is there on-site parking at the venue?

Yes! There's ample parking at the venue. That's one of the perks about early morning breakfast meetings, no need to fret about not being able to find a parking space!

What happens if there's already someone in my industry at the event?

As with most networking membership organisations, we give 'seat exclusivity' allowing one representative to attend from each industry or area of business. However, because we have multiple locations within Essex, we are always happy to work with you and explore alternative groups.

I have a question which I can't find the answer to?
