Upcoming Events
We run a programme of exciting and diverse events where our members can meet policy makers, discuss policy and network with other business leaders and entrepreneurs.
“The Business Network offers a great opportunity to connect with like-minded entrepreneurs, executives and professionals from a wide range of industries and professions. We regularly gather to explore key business challenges and policy ideas with Lib Dem MPs, Peers, and influential speakers. With the changing landscape, the Liberal Democrats are increasingly positioned as the natural party for business.”

📅 Saturday 20th September - Business and Liberty Network Pre-Rally Drinks at Autumn Conference
Hermitage Hotel Bournemouth, Exeter Rd, Bournemouth BH2 5AH, 4pm to 6pm

We’ll gather for drinks, light refreshments, and speeches before heading to the Auditorium for the Rally. It will be a great chance to meet members and hear more about what the Network has to offer.
📅 Thursday 2nd October - Sewage, Soaring Bills & Thames Water – Time for Change
Online via Zoom, 6.30pm to 7.30pm
Join Charlie Maynard MP for a no-nonsense discussion on the state of our water system and what we can do about it. Thames Water has racked up £19 billion in debt, dumped raw sewage into our rivers for over 300,000 hours in 2024 alone, and paid millions to bosses and shareholders, all while your bills keep rising.
Charlie has been fighting back: partnering with WASP (Windrush Against Sewage Pollution), raising the alarm in Parliament, and challenging Thames Water’s latest £3 billion debt scheme in the High Court. He believes water is a public necessity, not a corporate cash cow and it’s time to stand up for our rivers, our homes, and our communities.
📅 Tuesday 4th November - AI and the Creative Industries - great opportunity or mortal threat?
Central London, 6.30pm arrival for a 7pm start
Join us for a thought-provoking panel discussion exploring how artificial intelligence is reshaping the arts, media, and creative sectors. Our speakers will debate whether AI is a revolutionary tool for innovation and productivity, or a fundamental danger to human creativity, jobs, and cultural diversity.
