BOSN provides an opportunity for professionals working on the commercial side of sport to communicate through a series of seminars and networking events. The network began in Hong Kong in May 2016 and was originally intended to bring together members of Hong Kong's National Sports Associations to help them interact and collaborate. After just a few weeks, it became apparent that the numerous sectors of the city's sports community could be communicating with each other more effectively and so membership was extended to all those working on the commercial side of sport. The BOSN network today consists of more than 500 members from 150+ organisations across its three branches in Hong Kong, Singapore and Tokyo. BOSN continues to accept new members in each city, with plans to open in additional cities throughout 2017 and beyond.
