Welcome to the BABC Conference 2010
STRATEGIES FOR SUCCESS - 2010-2020
"How will the leading business sectors contend with the challenges of the next decade?"
This year, the British-American Business Council (BABC) will hold its Annual Transatlantic Business Conference in London for the first time since 2006. It will bring together members of the BABC's 25 chapters throughout North America for a conference that will begin with a welcoming reception at the Royal Academy of Arts on 12 May. There will be a full day's conference on 13 May, followed by a Gala Dinner at Lancaster House, and the conference will conclude with a half day (morning) session on 14 May.
The conference will focus on how the leading business sectors will evolve, adapt and contend with the challenges ahead in order to achieve success. We believe that those attending the conference will gain a comprehensive view of the prospects for the key components of our economies across the board, and be able to put the challenges of their own businesses into the wider context and better understand the environment in which they will be operating.
