Membership Autumn 2026
SNN MEMBERSHIP
The network that works for your business.
Connect. Save. Be Seen. Grow.
The proposition:
SNN membership isn't simply access to networking events. It's a 12-month business advantage programme designed to introduce you to the right people, save your business money, raise your profile and bring opportunities directly to you.
And the big promise:
Our goal is to deliver more value than your membership costs.
That is what we build everything underneath.
1. THE SNN CONNECTION COMMITMENT
12 Introductions. 12 Months.
Every member can request one facilitated introduction every month.
Not a guaranteed sale.
Not a guaranteed referral.
A genuine, considered introduction.
When you join, we ask:
Who do you want to meet?
Examples:
"Independent hotel owners in Scotland."
"Construction companies with more than 20 employees."
"An HR director."
"Businesses expanding into North America."
"Accountants who work with hospitality businesses."
"Someone at Scottish Enterprise."
Then SNN actively searches its network and wider connections.
Each month we'll work to identify and facilitate a relevant introduction aligned with your business objectives.
2. SNN FIRST
Before you search elsewhere, search within the network.
If SNN needs:
a photographer, solicitor, printer, hotel, accountant, AV company, marketing agency, caterer, telecoms provider...
we look at members first.
If a member contacts us saying:
"Do you know anyone who...?"
we look at members first.
When SNN has:
speaker opportunities, panel places, workshops, podcasts, exhibition opportunities, editorial opportunities...
members get first consideration.
This starts creating an internal economy.
And I love this as a marketing line:
Before you Google it, SNN it.
