Two Fridays Ago (9/19) BBC held an Open Mic “Your Board Of Directors” business strategy roundtable that focused on BBC IN THE COMING YEAR.
What would you like to see at BBC this next year, 2015-2016? Some suggestions pitched two weeks ago:
- A Crazy Ideas Roundtable
- Time management & how to be more organized
- Presentations from BBC Regulars, their story, business wisdom, trials, joys
- Visits from B.I. Council
- Elevator-speech/pitch sharing, focus, practice, critique
- Patents, trademarks, copyrights
- Technology updates, Android, Windows365, Google, Linux
- CPR Classes, Emergency Preparedness,
- BBC2 – The Evening Edition
Thanks to everyone who brainstormed last time with great ideas and suggestions.
Be there, be free, be businesswise. For, in a sense, as serial entrepreneurs, we’re all business wise! And Remember, at BBC, while out of chaos may not come order, out of our chaos very often come great ideas and brilliant inspirations.
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!
BBC@OfficeXpats – 403 Madison Ave N, Bainbridge Is., Upstairs At the Pavilion
7:30-8:00 – coffee/tea, visiting, informal networking
8:00-8:45 – “Your Board Of Directors”

Sincerely,
BBC Management, KaveDragen Ink, & other entrepreneurial sentients from planet BBC
