Upcoming Events

The Competitive Edge Series

The San Francisco BABC is launching its "Competitive Edge Series". We are dedicated to helping our members obtain the knowledge they need to succeed in a global competitive market place. The BABC - Northern California Chapter has an extensive data-base composed of some of the Bay Area's most prominent international business leaders as well as British / Americans involved in a wide array of professional services.

The BABC would like to invite our members to submit ideas and proposals for potential seminars for consideration by our Events Committees. Ask yourself these questions:

"What do I want to know more about?"/ "What do US companies need who are looking to grow abroad?" / "What do UK companies looking to grow here need to know?"
This invitation to present is available to BABC Members only. Members and their guests will be invited to attend the series.

For information on joining the BABC, please contact the BABC office at 415.296.8645.
