Business Network Chicago (BNC)

Business Network Chicago (BNC) is a networking organization for professionals offering extensive face-to-face and online networking opportunities to over 4000 members in the Chicago business community. Our mission is to educate, support and empower members to achieve all their strategic objectives through the power of networking whether looking for clients, talent, a job, capital or strategic alliances.

BNC has a variety of face-to-face and online networking special interest groups targeted to specific professional areas. Each group offers members the opportunity to network with their peers and share leads, contacts, ideas, and other valuable resources. During "live" networking events, accomplished speakers are brought in to address current topics of interest.

BNC also has several LinkedIn subgroups which allow our members to have targeted discussions, job postings and news that are specifically related to that special interest group.

We encourage people to post their events in the BNC Events Subgroup so that our members can share their events with our other members.

On the 4th Tuesday each month, we have an "After Hours" networking event where we teach people how to network online and IRL (in real life), have targeted networking via speed networking and have traditional unstructured networking. At this monthly event, professionals in all industries and fields can expand their list of professional connections.
