The event is open to the public

Are you a business owner, sales or marketing professional looking to get more business leads? Join the best business luncheon in town, the Bangkok Business Connections (BBC)! We limit the meeting to 40 attendees, so register today!

BBC meeting is set for Thursday, September 2nd at the Foreign Correspondents' Club of Thailand, BTS Chidlom. To join the meeting, please e-mail consulting@bnow.org to RSVP.

Welcome to the BBC! Most of you may have gone to many social networking events that are hosted in the evening. The BBC is different because it is a proactive way to network with other businesses. Instead of the usual one to one networking style in a social setting or speed-networking, the format is one to group. BBC is appropriate for business owners, sales and marketing professionals. The meeting is 2 hours and conducted during lunch time and includes a meal. For the meeting to be effective and for us to work within the set timeframe, we limit the meeting to no more than 40 attendees, as it gives everyone a chance to present their company in 60 seconds. We suggest you prepare your elevator pitch, 30 second to introduce your products/services and 30 seconds to relate the kind of referrals you'd like to receive from the group, i.e. I want to meet the HR person in Acme and Widgit company.

BBC concept is simple, by sharing information about the products and/or services each company provides, other attendees can help to provide business leads. By giving and receiving good business leads we can help each other grow.

At each meeting, two attendees will be invited to give a 5 minute presentation about their company. We also invite experts to give a business tips. If you'd like to volunteer, please send us an e-mail.

Please RSVP 7 days prior to join the meeting. This gives us time to prepare all the necessasry materials for all attendees.
