FORMAT

  • Open networking to begin
  • Full cooked breakfast, buffet-style
  • Structured meeting agenda (see more details below)
  • Open networking to close


Unlike many business networking meetings, we weave a balance between a tried-and-tested formal agenda and informal networking. This is not just a social event and its not a sales pitch.

Everyone in the room gets to introduce their business to the group.

Everyone in the room asks for connections that others in the group might be able to help with.

This combination leads to regular and concrete outcomes from our networking efforts and enables productive and focused conversations. Whether you're an experienced entrepreneur or a beginner, this event is ideal for anyone who wants to improve their business and connect with more clients, more collaborators and partners to ultimately grow a business.

HOW BNI WORKS

Imagine a business environment where people are on your side, offering guidance, support, collaboration, and personal development while helping you grow your business. That's how BNI works.

BNI is a marketing strategy meant to help you develop your business through referrals. It offers coaching and support, as well as opportunities for personal development and peer-to-peer connection. Many of our members tell us that they can now talk more confidently in pitches, present on stage, make business improvements, learn new methods, and establish and achieve goals because of their membership.



Frequently asked questions

Do I need to be a member to visit?

No. The first visit is just a chance to meet with the group, see if there's a connection and mutual benefit to us all professionally. Absolutely no obligation beyond that first visit.

Is there parking at the venue?

Yes. There is plenty of parking and it is free.

Is there a dress code?

No official dress code, though most abide by the notion of 'business casual' but this is not a key factor for us. We say, come dressed as is standard for your industry and be very welcome :)

What should I bring or prepare?

Prepare a 60-second description of your business, explaining what you do, how you add value, and the referrals you are looking for. You may script this, or not - but as a guide, roughly 150 words should be achieveable in 60 seconds.
