BABC ANNUAL TRANSATLANTIC BUSINESS
CONFERENCE, 2008
“Connectivity in a Transatlantic World”
The BABC held its Annual Transatlantic Business Conference for 2008,
“Connectivity in a The Transatlantic World”, in Chicago from April 23-25,
2008. The Title Sponsor was British Airways.
Its 09 Conference will be held from April 29-May 1, 2009, in Washington,
DC.
The ’08 Conference program focused on a number of key connectivity issues
including branding, emerging technologies and social media, the evolving
trust landscape and intercontinental customer connections. Speakers included
senior executives from a number of leading multinational companies, as well
as HM Ambassador to the United States and the Deputy Chief of the US Embassy
in London.
The Conference also offered extensive opportunities for business
networking with members from 21 of the BABC’s 23 chapters and several of its
affiliates.
At its Annual Meeting and Board of Directors Meeting on April 26, BABC
President, David Kay, delivered his
report to BABC
members. David was re-elected to a second year’s term as BABC President and
Robin Hayes was elected as BABC Vice-President.
The BABC’s previous two Conferences were held in Los Angeles (’07) and
London (’06).
“I have found the BABC’s Annual Conferences to
be extremely beneficial – for both me and my company. They have provided
me with great opportunities to network and establish useful business
relationships with major business partners and with smaller firms whom
my company is considering for services here in the United States – as
well as with plenty of interesting activities for the family while I
attend the meetings. I would strongly endorse any BABC member to take
advantage of the opportunity to attend a BABC Conference.”
Kristen Verderame, Vice President & Chief Counsel, Americas, BT
