How GSBN views “networking”



GSBN is not an ordinary place for networking.
There are many networking events and meetings in many communities where people meet strangers with their business cards in their hands. After a while, we often forget whom we met at those events.


GSBN believes that networking is for making real friends whom we can trust and rely on IN any circumstances, either for business or private life. 


Through discussion over a chosen topic at a monthly meeting, each attendant will have an opportunity to share their knowledge, experience, skills and opinions. They learn and are educated in chosen business -related topics as well as create a strong sense of community and friendship.

We encourage active participation from each member, everyone is encouraged to pick a topic, lead the discussion and generate the gathering.

We also believe that knowledge and leadership that are shared in the meetings will make a significant difference in private life, community and the society as a whole.
