Networking for Business Leaders

Started in 2019 by Peter McKaskell, Future of Business began by bringing together Canterbury business leaders and executives for networking and sharing of ideas. Peter and the founding members could see the seeds of greatness and innovation within our business community and economy.  We have all seen huge amounts invested in Canterbury over the last 10 years and one of the things it has given us is a platform to grow world-leading businesses in our own “backyard”.  Peter’s vision: a forum where leaders can share ideas, brainstorm, and collaborate.  To provide an encouraging environment that supports economic growth for our businesses, our community and our region.

After news of a health challenge, the business jams were put on ice and not long after 2020 brought its own challenges: lockdowns; redundancies; and a strange new normal that is anything but normal.

Resuming late in 2020, Future of Business now has bi-monthly business jams. The format is face to face wherever possible and offering networking, thought-provoking speakers and panel discussions, in a compact after-5 event with refreshments and nibbles.

Whether you are pivoting, transforming, kickstarting or simply keen to share ideas with like-minded business people, Future of Business is the place for you.

We are not membership-based but thrive on repeat attendance. Join us for our next event (or two) and see for yourself how you can take part in the future of business in Canterbury.
