We welcome all guests to come observe or to participate. If your profession is already represented in our chapter, it's OK to come anyway as an observer. We can help direct you to another chapter that may have an opening in your category, or you may want to start your own chapter.

We are delighted that you are considering a visit to the Cupertino Business Builder's Chapter of BNI. We meet each Thursday morning at 7:00 AM at BJ's Restaurant at 10690 N De Anza Blvd., (just off Hwy. 280) to network and participate in the meeting. Many of us get in some extra networking by arriving 15 minutes beforehand and staying afterwards. The meeting is very structured and will end promptly at 8:30 AM. Invited guests are treated to a continental breakfast. We suggest you make your selections, find a seat and set it down, then go network (we eat during the meeting). Please also bring about 50-60 business cards and be prepared to deliver a 30-second infomercial ( link ).

To RSVP and reserve your seat, please click here.

• Near the beginning of the meeting, you will be introduced.
• During the infomercial portion of the meeting, if you are not in conflict with another member, you may take 30 seconds to tell us about your business. This portion is timed, so feel free to write it down and read your infomercial -- many of us do.
• Feel free make note of any member's service or products that you may be interested in or take their business cards from the member's card box.
• Later in the meeting when we the pass the hat for referrals and closed business, you will be asked to comment on the part of the meeting which impressed you the most.
• At the end of the meeting, you'll be invited to speak with one of our “visitor orientation hosts” who will provide you with additional information that will need in order to make a decision about applying for membership. It may or may not be for you, but you won’t know until you come check it out! Please plan to stay until about 9:00am so you can learn more and do some more networking !
