You’ve made it here by clicking an older link. We decided to re-brand but we’re still the same with some new features added.
See our (almost completed) history below.
First event post COVID
We’re back with our first post COVID business event with the Featured Topic being: How Are You PIVOTING During COVID Lock-Down And/Or What Are You Doing Differently Now?
Business Made Social Website
Transition to Business Made Social complete with website final update and social re-branding mostly done.
Business Drinks Rebrand
COVID-19 put a stop to our fortnightly social gatherings. This year also saw us introduce New Topics and a Monthly Challenge. This drew more people to our events and increased our engagement and value we can collectively offer the business community.
Since Facebook & Google happen to not like the word “drinks” in our links and with the current state of affairs coupled with our evolving structure we decided this is the best time to re-brand to a name that is more relevant with our current course.
We are now known as Business Made Social – Blue Mountains.
Business Breakfast Event (April) Cancelled
Due to the uncertainty around COVID-19, it was anticipated the location would be closed though Megalong Valley Tearooms are offering takeaway, due to recent Government directives, it is not deemed an essential event and therefore cancelled.
All Day Business Resources created
A plethora of COVID related articles, free courses, tools, insights, videos and more.
Business Drinks Evening Event (March) Cancelled
Due to the uncertainty around COVID-19, staff shortages and social distancing, our event at the Blackheath Bar & Bistro was cancelled.
#pivotvspanic Facebook Campaign starts
Created the #pivotvspanic hashtag campaign on Facebook. Had an epiphany this morning (love that word!), a nice little hashtag and something to run with whilst we are in this fluid situation (no pun intended but maybe).
Business Drinks will go on as I see it in the foreseeable future.
BUT we’re going to PIVOT vs PANIC.
New location for Business Breakfast
It was decided that since many local cafes suffered badly throughout the recent Bush Fires over Christmas that we’d share the love and visit different venues for Breakfast.
It was also the second event with our new Featured Topic. This month was SEO (Search Engine Optimisation). Turned out to be out to be our largest attendance to date.
Business Drinks website launched
The first case to be recorded in Australia was on 25 January 2020 in Victoria, when a Chinese man returning from Wuhan, China, was tested positive for SARS-CoV-2.

Idea spark to create Business Drinks
Was asked by a local bookkeeper on local networking opportunities in or near Blackheath. After suggesting some places, there was nothing happening in Blackheath at the time. The idea to have casual, non member based free social catchups for business owners only was born.
