Back to Business

The CCCI’s Back to Business is a major NEW annual event for the local business community, inspired by the energy of the back-to-school season and built for the back-to-business moment - when people are back in the room after the summer break and ready to take on the Autumn “term” by storm. Back to Business will be held on 11 September 2026, at the University of Chichester.
