BNI Wanaka Visitors Evening – Real Business Connections, Local Vibes

Join us for a chilled-out Visitors Evening hosted by BNI Wanaka - a crew of 28 local legends who meet weekly to grow our businesses through referrals, relationships, and good old-fashioned word of mouth.

This isn’t about awkward icebreakers or forcing a pitch. It’s about connecting with real people doing real business in the Upper Clutha region.

👋 Come along if you:

• Run a local biz and want to grow your referrals

• Are curious about what BNI is and how it works

• Want to meet Wanaka’s most trusted business owners

• Enjoy good banter and even better beer

👀 Who we’d love to meet:
We’re currently on the lookout for new members in categories like:

• Signwriter

• Business Coach

• Cleaner

• Beauty Therapist

• Handyman

• Mechanic

• Plumber / Gasfitter

• Hairdresser

• Babysitter

• Dentist

• Anyone running a local business, keen to make connections with like-minded people.

Even if your category’s not listed — register anyway! We’ll be in touch and see if it’s a fit.

🍻 Why Register?
Registering gets you a free drink token on arrival.
Walk-ins are always welcome, but you’ll be buying your own beer (fair's fair).

🎶 Expect:
• Chill local venue
• Easy, low-pressure convos
• Good yarns, with good business humans
• Free drink (if you register)

📆 What We Actually Do:
BNI Wanaka meets every Tuesday at 7AM at Columbus Coffee. This Visitors Evening is a relaxed way to see what we’re about, meet the crew, and decide if you’d want to join us weekly for coffee, referrals, and growing your business support squad.

📆 What We Actually Do:

Each member holds a unique seat, meaning only one person per profession or specialty is allowed in the group. That way, there’s no competition, just collaboration.

The goal?
To build a trusted circle of business support, where you educate the group about what you do and how you help, so they can recommend you to their own clients, mates, and networks. It’s like building your own personal sales army - one breakfast at a time.

This Visitors Evening is a relaxed way to meet the crew, see what we’re about, and decide if it’s a fit for you.

Got questions? Want to chat before you commit?
Flick one of our Visitor Hosts a message - They will be happy to help!
