Individual Membership Criteria, Fees and Application
The IBCircle is reserved for individuals who… Have either lived or worked abroad in a management position, and/or are currently managing international operations, teams or projects and are referred by at least one current member. Note – If you meet these criteria and are interested in joining but don’t yet have a referring member, please email us and/or call at (303) 818-2123 to tell us about yourself.
Individual Membership fees are $397 for the first year. To apply for membership, complete the on-line application.
Corporate Membership Criteria
We also offer a range of corporate memberships. Our selection criteria for Corporate Memberships are less stringent. As long as a company is involved in international business or plans to expand abroad within the next year, any employee can have one of your allocated memberships and attend events. This is a great way to quickly integrate new international staff and their families as they arrive in their new Expat destination. This membership also offers a valuable opportunity for you to enable visiting clients or executives/employees from overseas to experience local exposure, business culture and connections.
Please contact IBC President Maggie Fouquet for more information: maggie@ibcircle.com
Ground Rules
We guarantee a pitch-free environment at events. Deals are a likely and natural outcome of the type of relationships that develop through the club. However anyone who is caught ‘pitching’ is out. We cap memberships for Service Providers and these are reserved for individuals with significant international experience. The club reserves the right to terminate a membership without explanation by refunding the unused portion of the annual tuition free on a pro-rated basis.
Want to see what we’re all about before signing up for a membership? We would be delighted to have you join one of our IBC virtual events as a ‘First-Time Guest’ at no cost.
“IBC is an exceptional group of veteran global business leaders that meet regularly in a myriad of engaging forums. The intellectual exchange of ideas and perspectives with such a diverse and congenial membership makes it an invaluable organization for innovation and networking.”
