To learn more about BNI, visit a chapter near you.
Before You Visit
Visiting a local Chapter meeting is the first step in finding your new referral network. You’ll find BNI Members to be welcoming and excited to meet you to learn more about you and your business. 317K members from over 300 different professions use BNI’s proven referral network to grow their business. Discover new connections and establish a business referral network both locally and globally.
Visitors may attend chapter meetings twice ONLY (one chapter twice, or two chapters once each), before they will be asked to make a decision about joining. Visitors may NOT promote their business in a chapter where their business category is represented. Visiting a meeting is a great way to see a BNI Chapter meeting in action, and you don't need to purchase your membership before attending.
It is not necessary to have an invitation to visit a chapter, however it is best to contact the president of the chapter prior to your visit.
