Absolutely - just don't be that person that makes every conversation a sales pitch.

The BOC is built to create genuine relationships between business owners. We want members to talk about what they do, share opportunities, make introductions and, yes, do business together when it happens naturally.

What we don't want is excessive networking, unsolicited pitching, mass messaging members after an event, or treating the room like a ready-made sales database.

You can download our “How to network at The BOC” resource here to help you along the way.

We are a relationship first community - the business opportunities follow after that.

Some of the best business conversations require a little trust.

Where a speaker, mentor or fellow member identifies information as confidential, members agree not to repeat, publish or use that information outside The BOC.

The same principle applies to BOC member-only materials, resources and platform content.

Brief photos of presentation slides for your own reference are generally welcome unless the speaker asks otherwise. You will have access to course content afterwards, so take a break from your device for now.

Audio or video recording of presentations, panels or speaker sessions isn't permitted without prior written approval from both The BOC and the presenter.

We want people to learn from the room - while protecting the ideas and intellectual property shared within it.

Travel and accommodation are not included in your BOC membership and are the responsibility of each member. Where an event involves travel or an overnight stay, we’ll provide the relevant event and accommodation information in advance so you can make your arrangements.

For the BOC Holiday, travel, accommodation and other associated costs are paid separately by attendees.
