Going Global: Your Passport to Growth April 9, 2013

In our increasingly interconnected world growing your business no longer needs to be hemmed in by national and regional boundaries. Finding traction internationally is a must for many fast-growing organizations - but is also a huge challenge.

Selling or establishing workforces in foreign markets comes with a plethora of HR, tax, compliance and legal challenges. How do you protect your IP, minimize employment law risks in Europe, or tackle red-tape and corruption in emerging markets?
On Tuesday, April 9, 2013, the BABC and Nair & Co invite you to join us at the Mission Bay Conference Center for an interactive discussion with our expert panel, who will be providing unique insights from their experiences on how to go about expanding your business successfully.

Here's a flavor of some of the questions we'll be tackling:

* Which countries are easiest and hardest to expand into and why;
* Steps companies should take to ensure they are truly prepared to expand;
* What to keep in mind when hiring employees in foreign countries;
* Little-known legal issues that can sidetrack expanding companies;
* How to handle accounting and other financial issues;
* Communicating between the home office and the foreign office;
* The roles VCs and board members can and should play;
* And much more ... including questions from the audience!

CONFIRMED PANELISTS:

Sir Alan Collins KCVO CMG
Stuart Buglass, Director, Nair & Co.
Norma Lane, SVP, Human Resources, LiveOps

There will be plenty of time for drinks and networking after the panel - wine,beer and a delicious selection of hors d'oeuvres are included in the ticket.
