BBC Friday The 13th – “Travel In 2015” – w/ Francie Brown

Francie Brown — of OfficeXpats, KombieCorp, Bainbridge Travel, and The Pavilion — will lead a discussion on Travel In 2015! Representing Bainbridge Travel, Francie will guide us through the maze of local regional and international travel, the good, the bad, the glorious, whether for business or fun (or both?). 

Bainbridge Travel, formerly The Travel Exchange, was founded in 1976 and we are still independently owned and operated. That means we have your best interests in mind. Travel is our passion and it is our profession. We are all travelers, just like you, and we work hard to combine our professional knowledge with our personal travel experiences to help you get more for your travel dollar.

Francie Brown is delightful, fun, and — by Friday — knowledgeable in all things TRAVEL.

So bring your questions, thoughts, dreams, maybe a business travel story as well, for a great and informative discussion. 

Be there, be free, be businesswise. For, in a sense, as serial entrepreneurs, we’re all business wise!

 So, invite your friends and associates to come join us for this exciting non-virtual non-cloud event in real time and real space … and another delicious cup of BBC!
