My name is Alfred Verhoeven, founder and chairman of 6PC. Please let me introduce myself and the Network.
Soon after getting my degree and going into "business", I found the availability of a good network to be of the utmost importance - giving a direct and useful link into the business world, academic and social circles, and more.

Why the name "6PC"?
6PC started out as a private initiative to get to know some fellow consultants abroad. It was originally called Pink Consultants, or PC in short. For decades, in Europe, pink has been the "gay colour" in memory of the pink triangles which gay men and women had to wear in the Nazi concentration camps of WW2. It is now more and more replaced by the rainbow, its colours symbolising diversity.
PC also means Politically Correct and Personal Computer. I thought it was fun to make use of the triple meaning, so the name changed to PCPCPC ~ and the Network was subsequently launched, simply as 3PC.

Here are some of the benefits a 6PC membership offers you:
Networking:
There are many opportunities to network with other members. By so doing, you make new and develop existing contacts, meet potential new customers or friends and become better known throughout the lesbian and gay (business) community. You will be able to get help when travelling, planning a holiday or doing business abroad.
Many 6PC members offer other members special discounts or benefits. We also intend to negotiate discounts with other bodies and groups.
All offers are currently in the process of being updated
