Heading to Monaco for BNI Global Convention? Make your time in Monaco even more memorable with a truly special evening.

A small group of guests will have the opportunity to join BNI Founder Ivan Misner and Jody Misner for an intimate private dinner at La Môme Monte-Carlo.

Monday, October 26 | 7:00 PM
La Môme Monte-Carlo | Monaco
Private Dining Room & Balcony

This intimate evening offers a chance to connect with Ivan and Jody in a setting unlike the larger events of Global Convention — all while supporting the BNI Foundation and our mission to create brighter futures for children through education.

Two ways to join us:

Reserve a Seat | $2,500
Only 13 seats are available for purchase, first come, first served. Your contribution is tax-deductible and directly supports the work of the BNI Foundation.

Enter to Win the Final Seat | $250 per entry
We’re saving one final seat at the table for a special raffle! Each $250 donation provides one entry, and multiple entries may be purchased.

Space is extremely limited, and we anticipate this special evening will fill quickly.

If BNI's Global Convention in Monaco is on your calendar, we hope you’ll make this unforgettable evening of conversation, connection, and impact part of your experience.

We are incredibly grateful to BNI Alberta North and everyone who made their 14th Annual Charity Golf Classic such an incredible success. Together, they raised $20,061 to support local charities and the BNI Foundation!

It’s inspiring to see BNI members come together not only to build businesses, but to strengthen their communities and create opportunities for others.

Thank you, BNI Alberta North, for making a difference! ❤️

This is Business Voices in action! ❤️

BNI Smyrna Business Exchange in Georgia is showing what can happen when BNI members come together to make a difference in their local community.

As part of their incredible Casino Night happening this Friday, the chapter is supporting students at Fair Oaks Elementary School through $150 sponsorships that provide one student with an entire year of educational field trips.

For students who may otherwise face financial barriers to participating, these experiences mean more than a day away from school. They’re opportunities to explore, discover, connect classroom lessons to the real world, and make memories alongside their classmates.

We love seeing BNI chapters use the BNI Foundation’s Business Voices Initiative to identify a need in their own community and turn generosity into meaningful impact.

Way to go, Smyrna Business Exchange! We can’t wait to see what you accomplish at Casino Night!

This is what Givers Gain in action looks like!

One of our incredible BNI Foundation Ambassadors recently visited BNI Basin Business Builders - Klamath Falls, OR, where the chapter came together for a school supply drive benefiting their Non-Profit Member’s organization, Safe Families for Children with Hearts With A Mission.

Members incorporated the drive into their weekly presentations, brought in school supplies, and even donated gift certificates so local children could get new school clothes and other essentials. 🎒✏️📚

We love this because it’s a perfect example of how BNI chapters can get involved with the BNI Foundation and make an impact right in their own communities. Find a need, rally your chapter, and support children and education right in your community!

Basin Business Builders, we are so proud of you❤️
