**NTU Alumni Club / VIbe@6** **2 Handy Rd, #06-10 The Cathay, Singapore 229233** Meeting Investment: S$70 (Refreshments included) **To register, use the form in the URL** https://bniorigins.sg/visitor-registration/ • What we'll do The Purpose Let's network and connect businesses using a well-structured and efficient format. We meet to network and also learn new skills. It's not just about exchanging contact information, but we also share experiences and other business contacts to help each other grow. **A Guide for New Visitors** • BE ON TIME Our meeting starts at 8.00am sharp and ends at 9.30am. Please come at 7:45am for the networking session. • FARM & COLLABORATE We gather together not to hunt business deals from one another but rather to explore means and opportunities to build our businesses through referrals and collaborations together. We appreciate that you don't push your business to our members and other visitors. • PREPARE A 15-SECOND INTRODUCTION Don't worry, despite sitting through numerous meetings, some of us are still as nervous as you. Just share a little about yourself, what you do, and how you can collaborate with the people present. 15 seconds go by really quickly anyway. • STAY FOR OPEN NETWORKING Don't be in a hurry to rush off after 9.30am. Many of our members and visitors stay for open networking well after the meeting, so do stay on and mingle with us for another 30 minutes to an hour. • MOST IMPORTANTLY, COME WITH AN OPEN MIND What makes BNI unique and efficient is the system and structure in place for business owners like us. Come with an open mind and understand why we are willing to sign up for the chapter and meet every week at 7.45am.

Our second meetup will be to the longstanding live music venue of Blujaz, located near Bugis. I was last there many many years ago, but there's free live music every single night! We'll each pay for our own food and/or drink (let's support the venue by purchasing something), and get to enjoy what's likely to be some swingy jazz music that evening. It is pretty free and easy so if you might need to arrive late or leave early that's fine too. To join just RSVP and I'll help make the table reservation for the group. So the venue doesn't hold seats it doesn't need to, do let me know one day before if you're not able to make it anymore. I'm keeping the max group size a little smaller at 8 (including me) so it's easier to get tables and make conversation too (especially for an introvert like me!). *Bear with me as we figure out over time what days and times work well for folks, feel free to comment below too so I know. - Diana
