The NCIAA is the main organization that takes care of all legal aspects and to provide them with guidelines to follow to protect your business to keep your doors open. A benefit to their website is the tools to share news, information, issues, legal developments and anti-club activity. They use this program to allow members to list interactive profiles and messaging features. They also allow members to access media, artwork, website, newsletter, and publications and informal services. It provides access to project leads, jobs, fellowships, internships, experts and professional businesses along with networking opportunities with fellow professional peers, colleagues and recognized experts. It also provides access to award shows, conferences, meetings, symposiums, workshops, seminars and tours.
As a possible nightclub/venue owner in the future, it wouldn’t even be a question to join this website… I would greatly consider this organization and what they have to offer. They offer you everything there is to know and give you the ability to be flexible and open to new ideas through networking. Networking is key and is one way to help make your business successful!
