Where does my membership fee go?
Edinburgh Connections is self-financing. Membership fees are re-invested back into the organisation to help our member businesses to grow. Fees pay venue space for our full calendar of open and members-only events; for technology, to maintain our communications such as emailing distributions and our website that promotes members’ businesses, etc.
In all these ways and more, we generate quality leads for your business.
