The Buyers' Networking Club

The BNC is an association for event professionals that has been successfully bringing together ideas, initiatives and – most importantly – people since 1997. We connect event professionals with other like-minded people so that they can swap recommendations, share tips and advice and learn from each others’ experiences. They do this through many ways, one being our weekly online Q&A sessions where only event buyers take part and all identities remain anonymous. In addition to our online networking we offer our members: - The chance to meet and learn from each other at a series of free, enriching and informative events such as our BNC Shows, BNC Forums and BNC Events Advisory Group. - Several recommended supplier fam trips and experiences a year - The use of our cancellation service - Seasonal parties and fun events - A recruitment service - Access to a library of shared event management documents - Several news publications a year - The opportunity to get involved in charitable initiatives under our BNC Gives Back programme - Results and reports such as our annual Events Industry Salary Survey Becoming a member of The BNC can help you to save time and money as you seek supplier recommendations from peers. It can also help you with benchmarking and system checking against industry standards. We can help you stay connected to new ideas and best practices and if you’re an ambitious person, joining us can help you to raise your profile within the industry.
