A typical BNIB Meeting
Meetings follow a planned agenda designed to result in the maximum benefit for group members.
Although there is a fixed format, and there is a serious focus on generating business, there is also plenty of scope for the members to enjoy themselves and have fun at the meetings as well. Members meet at 6.30am for 30 minutes of open networking where you will be introduced to the members and enjoy refreshments.
Breakfast is served and the official meeting then starts at 7:00am sharp.
