SOME ADDITIONAL RANDOM GOOD TO KNOWS, THINK ABOUTS AND "ONLY WISE"

FYI #1: MAKING OWN LODGING ARRANGEMENTS
If you're not familiar with Lake Las Vegas, please note that it is quite a driving distance to "the outside world" from Lake Las Vegas. WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND our guests to stay on-site or at least in the Lake Las Vegas/Henderson vicinity unless you live locally and choose to go home each night. We even would recommend any of the locals who are attending to stay at our hosting resort at The Westin Lake Las Vegas where possible simply because it will help maximize your experience and be fully immersed. Consider it a little business vacation for a few days! We have limited room blocks that's included in some of the packages. However, should those packages be sold out, and you still want to reserve a room to stay at The Westin, please contact us and we'll see if we can get more rooms added at those great rates.

FYI #2 THE PRE-EVENT ASSIGNMENT
You will be required to do some "assignments" before attending the event - including preparing a 7-minutes TEDTalk style presentation; except that we call it a "TANKTalk." You will be presenting to your group (at your table) with this presentation - SUPER FUN!!! More details regarding the assignments will be included in your Pre-Tank Orientation Kit aka. "The Think Ahead" which will be sent to you after you've registered and secured your seat.

FYI #3: NOT A DATING PLATFORM
We hate having to even bring this up; but… BMG is NOT Match or Tinder dot com. It's totally creepy to try to hit on people at a professional/social event like this. Regardless of how ridiculously attractive we are; pretty pretty please be a Cool Cat, and not a Creepy Cat.

FYI #4: BMG GENERAL GROUND RULES
No hard-selling, hard pitching or "*Me Monsters" please.
* A "ME MONSTER '' is someone who cannot stop talking about themselves and has no awareness or consideration for others' existence. Strange people but they DO walk among us. You will find leaving your ego or sense of entitlement at the door will help you maximize your experience at this gathering and not come across like an insecure little sucker.

FYI #5: BE KIND, RESPECTFUL AND THOUGHTFUL
Hopefully in the new year of 2022, everything and everyone won't be as easily irritated or offended like how the last two years did to us. Please be mindful and respectful of everyone's personal beliefs, perspectives and value systems; TRY to avoid deliberate conversations that revolve around strong (BORDERLINE BULLYING) political, racial, gender or religious views, comments and/or opinions. Simply put, DON'T GO THERE. Let's celebrate each of our uniqueness!

FYI #6: SPECIAL DIETARY NEEDS OR RESTRICTIONS
It is crucial for you to inform us if you have any special dietary needs or restrictions. Please be sure to make a note under the dietary needs section when you register for the event so we can try our best to accommodate your needs. Please also communicate with our onsite caterers and/or hosting vendors should you have any questions regarding any of the foods being served.

FYI #7: THIS IS (SERIOUSLY) A PRIVATE/BY-INVITATION-ONLY EVENT
As much as some of our BMG events may appear like a "goofy fun party" - please note that this is a full-blown + serious professional networking event specifically curated for entrepreneurs and founders. It is set in a very "chillaxed and social" tone... But it is not for the faint of heart or individuals who are overly reserved and unwilling to be open, transparent and sometimes vulnerable.

To help us maintain and honor the integrity, chemistry and quality of our events, please refrain from sharing this event publicly or with others without the approval from the hostess. The last thing we want is to have to turn people away due to incompatible chemistry or culture.

Should there be any other Cool Cats you wish to invite who you believe to fit the profile of what we're looking for at BMG, please contact Madame Williams (aka. Sandra Fan) to ensure it is the right fit and for us to send them a formal invitation.

OR you can simply nominate them by going HERE.

FYI #8: SENSE OF HUMOR & OPEN-MINDEDNESS REQUIRED
Last but not least, don't forget to bring your "Funny Bone", goofy self and be ready to let your hair down to have fun!
