Business Boost is free business networking in Eastbourne, bringing local business owners, directors and senior decision-makers together for relaxed conversations, useful introductions and stronger local connections. Hosted by thebestof Eastbourne, each one-hour event is designed to make meeting the right people easier.
Business Boost began as a way for thebestof Eastbourne to bring local businesses together to learn, share knowledge and support one another.
Over time, we’ve learned that some of the greatest value comes from something much simpler: putting good local business people in the same room and getting them talking.
That’s what Business Boost has evolved into today.
There are no lengthy presentations or formal pitches. Instead, the focus is on introductions, conversations and helping people get to know the businesses and individuals around them.
thebestof Eastbourne has been building local relationships since 2011.
The more business owners and decision-makers we know, the more opportunities we have to make introductions, spot useful connections and bring people together who might otherwise never meet.
Business Boost gives us a regular opportunity to do exactly that.
In just one hour, you can:
There’s no expectation that you’ll walk into the room and immediately generate business. Good relationships take time. Business Boost simply gives those relationships more opportunities to begin.
Business Boost is designed to create useful conversations and connections that are worth coming back for.
In March 2026, Eva Kristlova said:
“Thank you David for all the time and effort that you put into the Best of Eastbourne, networking and promoting local businesses! I had a productive morning at your networking this morning and look forward to being back next month. Many thanks, Eva”
For us, that’s what Business Boost is about. Creating an environment where local business owners can have productive conversations, strengthen relationships and keep getting to know the people around them.
You never quite know which conversation or introduction will become useful later. Regularly putting good local people in the same room gives those opportunities somewhere to begin.
Business Boost is for thebestof Eastbourne members and visiting business owners, directors and senior decision-makers.
If you’ve never attended before, you’re welcome to experience Business Boost for yourself.
Previous visitors can also return. Non-members can attend up to twice each year, subject to availability. Returning visitor places are limited so our members remain at the heart of Business Boost while we continue introducing new people into the network.
If you’d like to meet more local business owners, make useful connections and experience Business Boost for yourself, take a look at our next event.
