BBOT Member’s Receptions are casual receptions hosted by local businesses for BBOT Members. The receptions function as networking events for members to connect and socialize with fellow members and are always free for our members to attend.  Depending on the venue, date and venue capacity, our reception attendance can range from 40 people to well over 100 and are typically held on weekdays between 5:00pm and 7:30pm.

Hosting a BBOT Members’ Reception is a great way to showcase your business and bring people through your doors who might otherwise not be introduced to your business. We help you publicize the reception and your business by promoting it across our various communication channels, including our bbot.ca website, e-newsletter and Voice of Burnaby newspaper.  Where applicable, your business will be highlighted with your logo, hyperlinks to your website and a short bio on your business. 

At the event itself, the Host provides some light food and beverages for the members, and there is the opportunity for the host to speak to the members, distribute promotional materials, and to conduct tours of the facility. We provide pre-registration of attendees through the Burnaby Board of Trade office and will communicate the number of registered attendees prior to the event. In addition, BBOT staff will be on hand to organize and run the event.
