Frequently Asked Questions

Q. What is the Breakfast Club?

A. The iBreakfast Club is a regular networking conference that gets you directly into the business side of the Internet culture. By attracting nationally known conference quality speakers in an environment where you are not only free to question them, you are able o network with significant players in the field.

Q. Do I have to be a member?

A. No. But as a member you are attending at half price. You just commit to any 6 breakfasts in advance for a personal membership. For a corporate membership, you commit to 12 in advance. The difference between the two is that corporate memberships are assignable to the others and so is their member's discount. You can use the credits for any one of our monthly breakfasts and in any of the 5 cities we are in for a period of 1 year.

Q. What sets the iBreakfast Club Apart?

A. Experience and a growing national network. The founders of the iBreakfast Club include leading technology journalists and conference programmers who have spent years in the technology, advertising and media/new media fields. That experience shows in the timeliness of the topics, the significance of the speakers and the intelligence and wit that mark these monthly events.

San Francisco and Santa Clara are also opening up, as is L.A.

Q. What is the mission of the Breakfast Club?

A. To provide a physical presence for the business of the Internet. Unlike publications and websites that are just too numerous for the average person get a handle we narrow our focus and put you among people who can make a difference to your enterprise. The industry also changes too fast for anyone but a specialist to keep track of just their area of expertise. The net result is the need for a marketplace of people and ideas where you can stay in touch by meeting with the experts at any given time and the ability to tap into their expertise when you need it.
