— How it works —

They’re monthly and they’re awesome*
*so we’ve been told.

check out current events and tickets here

Why? Because we only invite genuine people. No need for name badges, forced referrals, or uncomfortable elevator pitches – just turn up and be yourself. Yes there’s mingling, tasty nibbles and flowing bevvys, you know - the usual, but there’s also prize raffles… because who doesn’t love presents? And a guest speaker.

Each month, BIO welcomes a host for the evening who does a short talk (don’t worry – no PowerPoint), and briefly takes us through a trending subject that sparks interest. We’re talking everything from AI Robots to Property. And the point of this is to keep things diverse, different – and most importantly, interesting.


—  Want to try before you apply? We get it, so would we. —  
We’re all about making sure that BIO is the right fit (for both you and us) and that’s why we encourage people to come along and give us a whirl. So if you’re not a member, but you would like to come along - simply fill out the 3 question form below by clicking ‘Want to come along?’ and we’ll see you there.

—  Don’t be that person who doesn’t register... —  
Why do we ask non-members to register before they come? Simple, to make sure you’re fed and watered and that the venue isn’t too snug. So, please give us the heads up that you’ll be coming along.

 
 
 
 
“Joining BIO has been a delight from the start (now three years a member). Jon is a kindred spirit and what he and Franky have created is a one off, which would be extremely difficult to genuinely replicate. BIO is packed with authentic people who are all warm and welcoming from diverse backgrounds. It’s not your average networking group and becomes more like an extended family, also absent of the pressure to drive deal flow and produce leads each month – these come organically from a sense and desire to assist one another, rather than through obligation – very different from the pale imitation networks out there and I’ve been in a few. Come along and see for yourself - you won’t regret it!

Joining BIO has been one of my best career moves to date, not just from a professional stand point but from a personal too. BIO is not your typical networking group; Jon and Franky have crafted a more holistic approach to sales and networking. This is a safe, non-judgmental space for like-minded individuals to come together to share information and develop longstanding professional and personal relationships. There is no pressure to perform and no hard sells, things just seem to happen organically at BIO. Even more valuable than the professional opportunities BIO has afforded me are the firm friendshipsI have formed in the past two years. Thanks Jon and Franky, keep up the good work!”
