Meetings
The essence of BNI is that although the meeting takes place at breakfast the sole reason for coming is to network! Efficiency and timings are maintained because every BNI meeting follows a structured 20 point agenda.
If you attend a BNI meeting in the UK, Ireland, Canada, Australia, the United States or anywhere else, you will find all meetings follow exactly the same format, using exactly the same agenda.
They are focussed on generating business for the participants and there are no secondary agendas. Our 20 point meeting agenda is as follows:
| 1. | Open Networking |
