Powerful networking, high-energy events, lots of opportunities for visibility through sponsorships and volunteer participation… there are a lot of good reasons to join the Charlottesville Business Innovation Council!

Membership in the CBIC is a great way to increase your visibility, build your network of contacts and grow your business. CBIC creates many opportunities for connections among members and among organizations through shared resources, educational programs, and our legendary networking events.

Membership in CBIC features:

• Free attendance at selected monthly events, such as Morning Education sessions at the University of Virginia Darden School of Business, and After Hours, CBIC’s after-work networking events
• Member-only discount registration for programs such as the Town Hall luncheons that feature speakers addressing opportunities for balanced growth in the region through technology and entrepreneurship
• E-newsletters such as CBIC Newsbriefs, Event Updates, and Media Alerts. CBIC members are invited to submit items for publication in Newsbriefs. These have included Help Wanted postings, announcements of workshops and seminars, press releases about your company, and other items.
• Promotion and visibility for your organization. In addition to gaining visibility through networking at CBIC events, we offer a variety of sponsorship opportunities that provide additional recognition for your organization. And when you volunteer to serve on one of our committees, you have the opportunity to work with other volunteers and deepen your connections.
