Building Relationships and Recognition are two of BNI’s Core Values and recognition helps build
better relationships. Therefore, International Networking Week is a great opportunity to thank those
people who have helped keep your business strong and growing.

BNI has created a promotion for INW: Create a short video expressing your thanks to that someone
who helped you this year. It's simple, submit your 30-90 second video testimonial by 31 December
2020.


The winner of the contest will have their business and their chapter featured throughout the world in
BNI’s Social Media and SuccessNet™. Plus, ten other videos will receive an honorable mention and
be featured the week after in SuccessNet™.


Submit Your "World of Thanks" video for BNI's
