Invite-only networking built for trust.
Invited to NOW Group? Lucky networker....
Our system is about relationships, consistent outcomes, and real partner pathways!
“Open Networking is predatory”
If you talk relationships then you have to show that you mean it. That's why we protect member experience & event quality so everytime we meet we focus on the value to the attendees - the clients!
As a result, It's NOT a salesy snooze fest — a collaborative cluster of natural partners.
If you're invited to NOW, we’ve already mapped your potential partner pathways!
Option 1 —
Book a quick intro with the Director
If you don’t have a member invite, this is the cleanest way to get access (outside Summits). It usually lands key intro's and clarity on your Networking strategy!
Option 2 — Member Invite (preferred)
If someone in NOW knows you, they can shoulder-tap you into a session. Relationships strengthen your ability to integrate so we limit growth to warm connections.
Option 3 — Quarterly Virtual Summits (open nights)
Experience NOW at scale: big value, breakouts, giveaways, and a proper feel for the culture. Where members showcase skills and value-adds!
Why we keep it invite-only
We aren’t about elitism or special clubs — but we do hold high standards.
We tune every room for outcomes, and that’s not possible when you spend half the time selling.
Members work better in a room of their peers.

FAQ’s
Events Page FAQs
What to expect, how to show up, and where to start.
What happens at a NOW event?
You’ll meet business owners who are there to contribute—not just collect contacts. Expect structured connection, clarity, and next steps.
Can I attend if I’m not a member?
Yes—events are the best way to experience the culture and standards before committing.
What should I bring?
Bring a clear one-liner about who you help and the outcome you create. If you don’t have one yet, read the Visitor Guide first.
Will I be asked to pitch?
No. You’ll be invited to introduce yourself clearly, but the focus is contribution, discovery, and next steps—not hard selling.

- Arrive with 1–2 clear outcomes you want (connections, learning, clarity)
- Ask great questions (ICP, pains, outcomes, partner profile)
- Book 1 Eye2Eye within 48 hours
- Follow up using ADD ONE
What’s an Eye2Eye?
A short 1:1 conversation designed to capture context and identify next steps—whether that’s an intro, a resource, or a collaboration.
Are events in-person or online?
Both. We run a mix depending on the assembly and the calendar.
I’m introverted / time-poor—will this be awkward?
No. The structure reduces awkwardness. You’ll have prompts, formats, and a clear pathway to next steps.
How do I know which event to attend?
Pick the one closest to your region (NZ/AU) or book a call with Chris and we’ll point you to the best fit.
