International Networking Day to be held on Tuesday,

Business Network International (BNI) has announced that it will host the International Networking Day in the UAE on 6 February 2007. National Director of BNI, Middle East, Bijay Shah, said the goal of International Networking Day is to recognise and celebrate the key role that networking plays in the development and success of businesses across the Middle East and the rest of the world.
The event, which is part of International Networking Week, has been made an official BNI activity.  BNI is now the world's largest referral organization with Chapters in 33 countries around the globe.  It was started in 1985 by Dr. Ivan Misner, one of the world's leading experts in networking and word-of-mouth marketing and started operating in the UAE in 2005. With 3 established chapters in the UAE, BNI has experienced rapid recognition in the networking business throughout the UAE.
During Networking week business people in the UAE will be invited to luncheons to hear guest speakers and government representatives speak about the benefits of networking in today’s business climate. The purpose of the program is to increase awareness and recognition about the value of networking.
“The luncheons will be open to all business professionals, tradespeople, students, media, government and government representatives – in fact, anyone who values business networking or would like to know more about business networking.” comments Shah.
“In addition, there will be large breakfast meetings and social gatherings of BNI Chapters and interested parties during that week.” Shah added.
