Bringing People Together: Networking like a Pro with Frederick Marcoux

About the Event

Join us for an impactful edition of our Bringing People Together networking series as we welcome the CEO and National Director of BNI Australia, Frederick Marcoux. If you have ever walked into a room full of strangers, grabbed a drink, and gravitated straight to the people you already know, this session will transform how you approach business networking.

The evening begins with open networking over light refreshments, followed by an exclusive presentation delivered by Frederick. Drawing on his extensive background as co-author of The 29% Solution and his leadership in growing BNI into Australia's largest business network of over 7,000 members passing more than $750 million in business annually, Frederick will deliver an engaging, humorous, and practical address. Following the presentation, the floor will open for an audience Q&A session.

Practical Insights & Giving Back

Frederick will break down proven, practical strategies you can implement the very next day:

• Why networking is fundamentally about relationship building rather than hard selling

• How to enter a room with confidence and know exactly where to start

• The VCP Process (moving contacts from Visibility to Credibility and Profitability)

• The GAINS approach for highly productive one-to-one business meetings

• How to be deliberate and strategic about the long-term relationships you nurture

The evening also highlights Frederick's commitment to community impact through the BNI Foundation Australia, demonstrating how business philosophies like "Givers Gain" seamlessly align with Rotary's principle of "Service Above Self."

Whether you are looking to sharpen your networking skills, build strategic referral partnerships, or connect with local business owners in a relaxed setting, this is an evening not to miss.
