Can meeting with a business owner from New Zealand help if you’re an insurance agent from Cleveland? What if you’re a Spanish coach from Fort Worth? Who would you most want to meet, and where would they be from? The world’s largest referral networking organization is about to holds an annual, global pow-wow, which every year brings together business people from all over the globe.
Each year, BNI (Business Network International), an international firm with chapter spanning the globe, hold’s its annual Director’s Conference, an event that brings together business people from all over the world with the sole intent on pushing the global networking envelope.
“International boundaries are all but meaningless to savvy networkers,” says BNI CEO, Dr. Ivan Misner. “Our annual Director’s Conference brings together our North American members with influential members from all over. Even after all these years, each conference is a lesson in how face-to-face networking can smash barriers, no matter how big they’re perceived to be.”
The 2005 BNI International Directors Conference took place in Long Beach in November. All Members of BNI were invited and hundreds joined BNI Directors from more than two-dozen Countries for a day of networking. Misner say’s this year’s conference was visible proof that networking knows no boundaries.
