BNI Member Extravaganza 2026!
Welcome to Member Extravaganza 2026! BNI Chapters around the world take these two months to celebrate a concerted effort to grow their referral networks with quality business professionals. And in the spirit of one of BNI's Core Values, Recognition, there will be prizes and recognition for members that sponsor new members. This year’s contest has been reimagined to include new, exciting prizes and a new format to win! Here are the details you need to know:
WHAT:Member Extravaganza is a BNI tradition throughout the months of April and May. Across all regions, it’s an intentional effort to provide a fun and exciting Chapter growth experience- in referrals AND membership! BNI provides all the tools and support your Chapter needs to participate! WHEN:Wednesday, April 1st – Sunday, May 31st. All applications must be dated within this timeframe in order to qualify for the contest! No other dates apply. WHY PARTICIPATE:In addition to growing your Chapter’s referrals, TYFCB and membership, you can also qualify to win this year’s Grand Prize - a cruise for two on Royal Caribbean’s Ovation of the Seas to Ensenada, Mexico! (Please see the attached flyer for additional details!) HOW to WIN:When a Chapter grows by three (3) or more new Members, that Chapter qualifies to be entered into the Grand Prize Drawing!

Also New: The Kick Start Award!
The Kick Start Award was originally created to help our new Members focus on the activities that would make the largest positive impact on their membership as quickly as possible. Since its introduction, several established Members have approached us to participate as well.
In response to your feedback, the new Kick Start Award is available to ALL Members during the 4/1/26-5/31/26 Member Extravaganza! The following activities must be completed during the contest timeframe to win:
1. Complete Member Success Program (either the live regional version or MSP 2.0 in BNI Academy)
2. Complete the Passport to Success
3. Sponsor One New Member to your Chapter
New Members have 60 days from their start date to achieve the Kick Start Award. Please submit your results at the Kick Start Award submission link in the Welcome New Members section of bnineo.com, or directly with this link for your convenience:
