Welcome to BABC 2007!

Hello there--my name is Dr. Elliot McGucken, and I'd like to invite everyone to join us in LA on May 17th and 18th for The British American Business Council Annual Transatlantic Business Conference.

Over the next few days, I'll be highlighting various aspects of the BABC's awesome entrepreneurial lineup.

The theme is "the future," and as the founder of ArtsEntrepreneurship.com and HerosJourneyEntrepreneurship.org, I'm very much looking forward to witnessing the most distinguished panels throughout the two-day event.

Thursday's speakers/panelists including S
ean Moriarty, President and CEO, Ticketmaster; David Hill, CEO, Direct TV; Colin Callender, CBE, President, HBO Films International; Simon Wright, CEO, Virgin Entertainment Group; and keynote speaker Timothy J. Leiweke, President and CEO, AEG (Anschutz Entertainment Group).

Friday's panels focus on socially-conscious entrepreneurship and environmentally-friendly innovation. As a Ph.D. physicist who has spent some time studying solar cells for an artificial retina and taught a class on environmental physics, I'm very much looking forward to Friday's lineup of experts. As technology advances, renewable energy, which is already less expensive environmentally, will become less expensive monetarily. From wind power, to solar power, to harnessing the power of the ocean's tides and waves, to biofuels and hydrogen engines, come hear from a distinguished panel on the cutting edge of it all:

11.00-11.45am, Friday

Wind, Sun, Sea & Biofuels, the Future Now
Jonathan Briggs, Director, Carson Hydrogen Power, BP Alternative Energy
Des McGinnis, Head of Business Development, Ocean Power Delivery
Dr. Richard Hamilton, CEO, CERES
Michael Rosenfeld, Vice Consul, British Consulate
Professor Harry Atwater, CalTech
Moderator: John Goetz Esq., Partner, Jones Day
