Malta joins BNI® global celebration of 9th International Networking Week®

Malta BNI will be joining International Networking Week 2015 which will be observed worldwide through hundreds of events, large and small, in 58 countries.

These events will feature presentations by  networking experts, provide participants with powerfully effective networking tips and strategies for achieving long-term business growth. They will also give attendees plenty of opportunities to network with like-minded business professionals and entrepreneurs.

An initiative of BNI, the world’s largest business networking organisation, the Week presents an opportunity for organisations, and individuals across the world to start 2015 by taking proactive steps to strategically use networking to promote business growth.

This is the fourth consecutive year that Malta BNI is celebrating International Networking Week which inaugural edition was held in 2007 and has gained momentum each year around the world. The Malta event will be held on Thursday 5^th February 2015 at the Hotel Phoenicia, Floriana, starting quite early in the morning at 07:00hr. The idea is that one is back at the office by 10:00hr/10:30hr, unless one sees more value in staying on to network further. Costs only €10 to Hotel Phoenicia for the breakfast.

Conducted by Malta BNI National Director, David Bullock, the event will be attracting all business professionals, tradespeople, entrepreneurs, students, government and local councils representatives.

“Our business is to help your business do more business,” explained Mr Bullock. “Participants learn how they can generate more business through BNI’s dynamic structure called the business referral system.”

As the largest business networking organization in the world, BNI offers its members the opportunity to share ideas, contacts and, most importantly, business referrals.

BNI groups, of which there are six in Malta – Valletta, Attard, Qormi, St. Julian’s, and now two in Sliema – comprise members who build long term relationships and are sincerely committed to helping one another find more business through networking and word of mouth referrals. 

Dr. Ivan Misner, Founder of BNI and the Referral Institute says: “We all want to do business with people we know and trust.  Therefore, we all speak the language of referrals. Relationship networking is not only a great way to get business, it’s an even better way to do business. I urge Maltese people to utilize International Networking Week to focus on doing something to improve their own networking efforts because there really is no better time than now to start strengthening your business relationships.”
