BNI Business Network International and Dr. Ivan Mysner

I have been a member of BNI Business Network International here in Los Angeles for the past few years. Our chapter is called The Money Makers and we meet every Thursday from 8:00 to 9:30 am for breakfast and networking. BNI is an organization which works based on referrals and has over 140,000 members throughout the world.

This morning, we had a big Power Breakfast meeting at Skirball Cultural Center with hundreds of guests and participants. The keynote speaker was the founder of BNI Dr. Ivan Mysner who talked about networking and gender. He introduced his recent book Business Networking and Sex (Not What You Think) which talks about how men and women are different and what we should do to network with each gender.

This was an interesting half-day networking, educational and fun event. There were several stands and booths representing different members and organizations.
