BAGOL – Conference Agenda

Conference Topic – Focus on the Future: Navigating the Demands of Tomorrow’s World

Each year, the British American Busines Network (BABN) brings together members of all 20 chapters throughout the US, UK and Canada for a 3-day conference. The aim is to convene senior level business executives and government representatives actively involved in trade, investment and business flows between the UK and US.

BAGOL, the British-American Group of Lawyers, is a network of attorneys from the various BABC chapters. The group provides opportunities for making or receiving referrals, and exchanging or disseminating information of common legal significance. A key function of BAGOL is its meeting and program at BABN conferences. Historically, the first day of the annual conference includes the annual BAGOL meeting.
