about bni | the really big breakfast | the 60 second speech

Every BNI meeting follows a structured formal 18 point agenda. They are not a social get together, or "breakfast club". 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. You don't have to worry about having to think of the next thing to say at BNI meetings, as the whole meeting follows a planned agenda designed to result in the maximum benefit for all the 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. The meetings are often an exhilarating start to the day's business for most of the members! The meeting starts at 7:00am sharp with 15 minutes of open networking, and breakfast is served.
