Accelerate Workshops
Our Accelerate Workshops offer a unique opportunity for attendees to gain hands on, practical knowledge for expanding and growing their business across the Atlantic.
These workshops are led by industry experts to allow attendees to take a deep dive into the granular details of what it takes to expand your business across the pond, and each session offers concrete takeaways and actionable ‘to-do’ items.
In-Person Networking
BAB’s Accelerate series is a fantastic opportunity for networking with like-minded individuals and businesses.
As both the UK and US continue to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic, BAB will begin to transition more events from their current virtual format, to in-person events with face-to-face networking.
