IERG Boston Chapter - Going Global - Strategies for International Success ( Panel + Moderator ): 09/14/09

Never has it been so critical for U.S. companies to seek opportunities in overseas markets. You need to know how it's done efficiently, effectively and quickly. There are many risks and challenges in global expansion, and there are many ways to approach it. Understanding how to develop and utilize local resources, how to apply best practices in a foreign country and where to find the best people to manage your off-site can make all the difference in the world.

As a senior executive business networking group, the IERG is a one-of-a-kind forum to access C-level leaders with extensive global experience.

WaterWays & Means Forum: 06/24/09

This forum centers on all things water. The forum's goal is to become the point of convergence for activities related to the water sector with a focus on new venture creation and water sustainability issues. The proposal is to kick start a larger water initiative in the fall with a foundational summer event. The purpose of the summer event is to foster a lively discussion that intersects academia, government, and the private sector. Knowledge gleaned form the summer event will be folded into a larger conference scheduled for the fall of 2009.

The summer event will be held at Goodwin Proctor on June 24th from 6:30 - 8:30 p.m.

Interested in attending? contact Karen Biscoe CPC.
