International Networking Week (INW) is February 2-8, 2026. The goal of this holiday, initiated by BNI in 2007, is to support professionals in building a professional support system with thousands of others to grow their business. In our region we use this as an opportunity to hold several networking opportunities in person and online that culminate in our Regional Networking and Recognition (RNR) award ceremony on the Friday of INW.
We are excited to celebrate our thirteenth annual RNR Celebration this year with a sold out event!
In addition to the RNR Celebration, we have several in-person and Zoom events for you to enjoy during International Networking Week. Check out the events here: <INTERNATIONAL NETWORKING WEEK EVENT CALENDAR>
