Dover is the ideal location for other reasons too: 2011 sees the launch of the new ‘International Gateway Forum' with over 20 exhibitors from mainland Europe, their associated trade organisations plus a group of buying delegations. The international pavilion offers exhibitors and visitors a wealth of commercial opportunities to build partnerships, harbour collaborations and importantly gain new clients and potential revenue. Supported by a range of conference sessions on exporting & importing, the international pavilion will open many new routes for Kent Businesses.
Sustainability and CSR presents constant challenges for all businesses, in terms of the cost, the implications and the potential benefits. The Eco Village at BWL will showcase companies who have already become more sustainable together with advice and information available to those looking to meet CSR objectives. Hear from Blue Chip organisations on the benefits and challenges in heading towards a more sustainable future.
Francis Bacon is credited with having coined the phrase Knowledge is Power in 1597 and it has been used many times since - how true it is. To that end BWL aims to arm delegates with the knowledge and power to improve their business models, operations, revenues and opportunities.
A line up of some 20 expert speakers from across all industry sectors will share their expertise, experience and vision on a range of subjects, pertinent live business issues and key topics. The full days programme will inform, inspire and celebrate innovative thinking and delivery.
At the 2010 event the workshops were extremely popular with one to ones, clinics and group training offered free of charge to visiting professionals across a range of subjects including tax, vat, hr and innovation. The 2011 event has increased its workshop schedule to include investment, funding and legal.
