Want to become a member?
Membership is open to every type of business, and we seek to create a cooperative environment where more than one of our members represent the same profession. We treat each case on merit, in an effort to avoid internal competition and to maximise the benefit to members.
New visitors are always welcome to come along to our meetings and see the group for themselves without any obligation to join. As this is a membership based network, non-members are given the opportunity to attend without commitment to a maximum limit of 3 events. Once you have attended 2 meetings you will be sent an application form for membership should you wish to continue attending the group.
Where do the meetings take place?
We are based in Eschborn and most of our initial meetings will be taking place at Nairobi – Restaurant & Grill in Eschborn. In future we will be hosting mobile business breakfast meetings across the 16 Bundesländer in Germany
Will we be hosting joint meetings?
Yes we will be co-operating with local businesses who want to invite us to their premises.
If you are interested in any of the groups or to book your place at the next meeting please call or email us using the details below.
