WIN - Owners' Conference 2015
This year we felt the network was ready to take some big leaps forward and with this conference in Kent, UK, BBN brought its annual owners gathering to a whole new level. With some significant consensus on some major decisions regarding BBN’s brand positioning, the event is likely to become another one of the most crucial milestones in the history of BBN.
The ‘WIN’ workshop on the final day of the conference helped agencies focus on business development opportunities within the network and approximately 42 opportunities or new contacts were shared amongst the group. If just one or two of those opportunities develops into converted business then it was a very worthwhile afternoon.
As always with BBN events, we need to keep up the momentum and enthusiasm that was generated in these two days. A report is available which is designed as a brief overview of our time at Hever. This year we asked all participants to share a minimum of two actions that they will commit to following the conference, so take a moment to re-read the report... it’s a chance for those who attended to recap on everything that happened and to ensure that actions are getting done.

Listen to what the owners thought of this year's conference:
Owners' Conference 2016
For next year's conference, we are considering two possible locations. One in Italy and one in Spain. Here's a brief overview of each venue:
La Borghesiana Romana, Rome, Italy
At the feet of the Castelli Romani, La Borghesiana Romana is a typical villa of the Roman countryside. This peaceful haven is bathed in sunlight 300 days a year. Nestled in an enclosed park of over 7 acres, in the shade of hundred-year-old stone pines, it's the ideal place to reflect, discuss, listen... come together! 25 minutes from downtown Rome.
The Mas Sant Joan, Barcelona, Spain
A 16th century farmhouse in Catalonia, located north of Barcelona. It takes just a few minutes by bicycle to get to the beach! A relaxing atmosphere, with the sea-softened sun and the brilliance of Empordà – a province known for its sweet evenings – these are ingredients that feed great team building.
Where would you like to be heading next year?
