Can someone explain the chamber of commerce & BNI?

This has been probably the number 1 thing I hear people say to do when trying to get new leads.

I moved to a new state so I have zero connections here so I am having to rely on cold leads for the most part. Chamber of commerce being the number 1 and BNI being close second.

I don't really understand how it works? I don't even know what the chamber of commerce is, how it works, how it can help you meet other businesses, etc. Do they have like weekly meetings you can go to, to meet people or what is this exactly?

BNI seems to be a business website. How do you use BNI to find or meet new connections to network with?

I tried to dive deep into both of these in the past but came out with not much information or ideas of how these work or how to use them.
