International Networking Week™ Will Offer Special Boost to Some Young Entrepreneurs

Upland, CA (PRWEB) -- "Givers Gain®" is a powerful concept for all referral networkers, but it will take on special significance for selected young entrepreneurs in some of the countries participating in International Networking Week™ (www.bni.com) 5th-9th February 2007.

"Givers Gain® means working together toward one another's mutual business success," explains BNI (www.bni.com) Founder & Chairman Dr. Ivan Misner. "The concept is simple, relevant and effective for businesses from Australia to Zimbabwe. It's an especially valuable lesson for young people seeking business success."

So, during International Networking Week™, Australia and certain other nations will choose one or more small business persons in their country to receive an annual Young Entrepreneur Award. Winners will gain a prized package of network-boosting support, including one year of BNI membership and access to a team of BNI (www.bni.com) volunteers comprised of a business coach, bookkeeper, Web site designer, mobile phone supplier, printer, graphic designer, legal advisor and other business-savvy pros.

International Networking Week™ will be held starting on the first Monday in February of each year, beginning in 2007. The special week will increase awareness and recognition of the value of networking worldwide, offering a variety of simultaneous global events, networking luncheons, and speaker presentations. Visit www.internationalnetworkingweek.com for more details.
