Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia is going to be the venue for the first international event for BNI members. The BNI Worldwide Conference will be held June 22nd through June 24th, 2006.
The event will celebrate not only the first 20 years of BNI but also the fulfillment of Dr. Ivan Misner's vision that BNI become a truly international networking organization.
BNI has taken off in Malaysia, which as a country can boast the highest average chapter size in the world. Congratulations to National Director Avryl Au and her team of dedicated Directors.
Dr. Misner will deliver the keynote speech, and has promised to deliver a Master class. The Event will bring together members from Australia, New Zealand, Sweden, the United Kingdom, India, Singapore, Malaysia, the USA, China and many more.
For members searching for contacts in other markets, here is an opportunity to meet BNI members in friendly surroundings. There will be trade stands and focused opportunities to network.
Other speakers include the Master of Presentation Skills Andy Bounds, and Gunnar Selheden, the National Director from Scandinavia and Poland. We are hopeful that Martin and Gillian Lawson, National Directors from the UK, who have been very successful rolling out BNI in that country will also speak for us.
Kuala Lumpur is a great city of modern architecture, excellent cuisine, and has tremendous facilities for golf and shopping. The Cameron Highlands are beautiful and cool and the jungles are worth a visit.
Don't miss the opportunity to become an International Networker!

Print This Edition is BackAt the request of a number of subscribers the Print This Edition feature has been added back to the menu of options in SuccessNet. You can find it in the top navigation bar.
Based on your feedback, we now know that a number of Chapter Presidents print out copies of SN to share with their members at chapter meetings. Others share SN as a marketing tool for chapter visitors and prospective members. While still others just like to read SuccessNet at their leisure and keep the hard copy for future reference.
Of course, current and past editions of SuccessNet will continue to be available online at www.bni.com. But for those who still prefer paper and ink to cyberspace, Print This Edition is back just for you!
