Dear Members,

We are delighted to announce the details for Round 5 of the Business Owner’s Network - Wednesday 11th November, Thomas Prior Hall, Bewley's Hotel, Ballsbridge, Dublin 4, 6-9pm.

The Business Owner’s Network (BON) is a group set up strictly for business owners. Once a month we invite members to meet with us in Bewley’s Hotel in Ballsbridge, Dublin 4.

The objective of our events are to encourage each business owner to develop their network of contacts, help create new synergistic relationships, encourage business growth, drive new business, and help create employment in the Irish market place.

The format will be; • 6pm – 6.30pm; Registration & Informal Networking • 6.30pm – 7pm; Event Introduction & Sponsors Talks• 7pm – 8:15pm Speed Networking • 8.15pm – 9pm; Break & Informal Networking

Refreshments and food provided free of charge.

At our October event, we had 3 key sponsors; 3 Business Realex Payments Let's Talk Finance

We had some very positive feedback from all 3 presentations. Please contact me directly if you would like further details.

Here are some images from the last event, many thanks again to David McAuley from 360D Virtual Tour for his great work- http://www.davidmcauleyphotography.ie/dmcap/bon/index.html

A few key points to remember when attending the next BON meeting; • The main event is a Speed Networking event; you will have 2 minutes to introduce yourself to the person sitting opposite you; then they will be given the same opportunity. After the 4 minutes are up, you will find yourself in a new pairing, where the process will begin again. Please click this link for some pointers from our colleague Olivia Mac Donnell, who kindly gave a talk at our first meeting. This is a fun way to make lots of new connections, interact and enjoy the night! http://www.confidentspeak.com/blog/ • Remember to bring lots of business cards, as you will be meeting between 25-40 companies directly on the night and others indirectly. Most new members will want to have a contact point where they can reach you at after the event.
