Events for December 2017
BABC Northern California
Dec 6    Atlantic Council Event on EU Digital Single Market in Bay Area (hosted by Community Partner Bay Area Council Economic Institute)

 

Please join the Atlantic Council, in partnership with the Bay Area Council Economic Institute and the European Union Delegation to the United States, for a panel discussion on the progress of the European Union’s Digital Single Market (DSM) strategy and its implications for businesses in the United States and the transatlantic digital marketplace.
 
Across the United States and Europe, the digital economy is radically changing the landscape for businesses, consumers, and policymakers. Two years after the DSM strategy’s launch, it is time to review its progress to better understand the DSM’s potential benefits and pitfalls for US stakeholders, and the road ahead.

 
Our panel includes public sector officials, experts on digital trade, and leading industry representatives. The discussion will focus on DSM’s impact on transatlantic data flows and ecommerce, ePrivacy rules, and the cybersecurity regime in Europe.

Dec 8    SOLD OUT - 54th Annual BABC Christmas Luncheon (#xmasbabcsf)




















SOLD OUT - PLEASE EMAIL events@babcsf.org TO BE PLACED ON THE WAITING LIST


The Annual Christmas Luncheon is the BABC's flagship social event and a real highlight of the city's holiday scene.

Last year, attended by over 1000 members of the Bay Area business community, we celebrated the 53rd Annual Christmas Lunch presented by CyraCom International, which was once again held at the spectacular Fairmont Hotel, atop Nob Hill. Tickets included complimentary champagne and wine at the Pre-Luncheon Play Rugby USA Champagne Reception and a sumptuous three course traditional British Christmas lunch with plenty of wine!  

Guests also enjoyed some great entertainment from the Dicken's Christmas Fair Characters, live music from our friends at The Irish Pipers' Band of San Francisco, an incredible major Grand Raffle Prize Drawing and Live Auction.  

Because of the generosity of our Sponsors, Donors and guests, the Christmas Lunch raised an incredible $30,000 for Raphael House,who this year will once again be our designated charity for the 11th year running.  

One of the highlights of the Annual BABC Christmas Luncheon is our Grand Raffle Prize Drawing. We have a fabulous range of luxury trips and experiences to be won by lucky ticket holders on the day. Make sure to purchase your tickets on the day!

Our thanks to all who helped make the 53rd Annual Christmas Luncheon a huge success. Check out the video below produced by 2020 Productions!

Description, taken from Eventbrite:

Lace up your skates and join us at the Safeway Holiday Ice Rink in Union Square presented by Alaska Airlines!
A San Francisco holiday tradition in the heart of Union Square, the Safeway Holiday Ice Rink in Union Square presented by Alaska Airlines offers fun-seekers of all ages a magical adventure beginning on November 1, 2017. From families to friends, and couples to colleagues, everyone can enjoy ice skating in San Francisco’s iconic plaza surrounded by festive lights and the sights and sounds of the season. Novices and naturals, alike, will love the outdoor ice skating experience in the middle of beautiful San Francisco.
We look forward to gliding with you at the Safeway Holiday Ice Rink in Union Square presented by Alaska Airlines.


RAIN POLICY
We remain open in light to moderate rain but may close in heavy and sustained rain at the discretion of Ice Rink management. No refunds or rain checks will be issued for tickets purchased at the door, but rain checks will be honored for tickets purchased online in advance.


WHAT TO WEAR
As with most activities in San Francisco, the key to comfortable ice skating in Union Square is to wear layers; the temperature on the ice may range from chilly to warm, depending on the time of day, the number of skaters and the amount of energy one exerts. Mittens and hats always help. We do sell both mittens and socks if you need them.


We welcome members and non-members to come along to this free event and you don't have to be British or American to attend!

Aside from our social meet-ups we also aim to hold a number of business-focused events several times a year. The official mission of the Young Professionals Group is to cultivate professional relationship building, entrepreneurial endeavors, and provide young business leaders with the opportunity to network for business and social purposes. Through building relationships with other young professionals we hope to inspire and assist all our members to further their careers and become leaders in their industries.
