Power Hour started in late 2018 as a “revolt” on the traditional NYC networking group structure. Mark C. Smith, the group’s founder and one-time BNI member, noticed the inefficiency of forming meaningful working relationships in a group of 60 or more members. His aim was to form a tight-knit group that would exchange business on the basis of trust. Initially a group of 7, there are currently 22 members and counting.

What Makes Us Special

  • With a cap of 30 maximum seats per chapter, members are able to form closer and more meaningful working relationships.
  • There are no entry level professionals, with each member of our group having 5+ years of experience in their respective field.
  • Unlike more prominent networking groups that meet weekly and during early morning hours that are the most important hours for certain professions, our group meets twice a month during lunch hours.
  • As a group bonding activity, there is a complimentary cocktail reception for all members every last Thursday of the month.
  • And since there is only one person of each profession, your competition is naturally locked out.
