First speaker announced New chief executive
The first speaker has been announced for a major transatlantic business conference taking place in Birmingham during June. The British American Business Council (BABC)
annual conference (6-8 June) will attract delegates from all over Britain and North America as businesses in the city, led by Greater Birmingham Chambers of Commerce (GBCC), seek new markets in the post-Brexit era. The first confirmed speaker at
the event will be Joe Bruselas (pictured), chief economist for accountant RSM in the States. Mr Bruselas will be a key note
speaker on the subject of ‘The Economic Challenges Facing Business and Industries’. Mr Bruselas is a specialist in analysing the US
monetary policy, labour markets, fiscal policy, economic indicators and the ‘condition of the American consumer’. He has more than 20 years of experience in
finance and economics. Before joining RSM in July 2014, he spent four years as a senior economist at Bloomberg, a privately held financial software,
data, and media company headquartered in New York City. Other speakers will be announced in due
course.
The decision to hold the conference follows the success of Birmingham’s high-profile presence at last year’s event in Chicago. The conference is a highly sought
after occasion for which many of the American states and British cities bid. The event has previously been held in London, Los Angeles, New York, San Francisco, Washington DC
and Chicago.
The BABC, which incorporates British American Business, is the largest transatlantic business network, with 22 chapters and 2,000 member companies, including many of the world’s largest multinationals, based in major business centres throughout the North America and the UK. The official conference hotel partner will be the Park Regis at Five Ways, Birmingham.
officer for BAB Duncan Edwards has been appointed as chief executive officer of BritishAmerican Business (BAB). Duncan, a media executive with more than
30 years’ experience, spent 27 years at New York City-based Hearst Corporation, most recently as president and CEO of its international magazine and digital media company, Hearst Magazines International. He said: “The history and economic value
of trade and investment between the US and UK is one of the world’s great economic success stories. BAB members represent a significant part of driving that trade value and I look forward to working with our members and governmental representatives from both countries to ensure that our trading relationship continues to be encouraged and developed by all parties.” Christopher Perry, chairman of the board
of BAB, said: “Duncan is well equipped to represent the challenges our members face conducting business in the US and the UK.”
