Business futures is a series of events run by the ICAEW looking at just that, the future of business.

The events focus around topics and issues that shall impact how the world operates in the future. Discussing issues such as natural resources, urbanisation & public spending to name a few.

The ICAEW value the input from younger members and shall sponsor 10 people to attend the event in the form of reimbursement of travel expenses up to the value of £100.

There will be a round table session held on the evening of Monday 3rd August, 8pm at  a venue TBC after the monthly BADCASS committee meeting. This is an opportunity to learn more about Business Futures and decide whether you would like to proceed for sponsorship. The evening shall consist of brainstorming topics we would like to raise ahead of the event in October. Refreshments shall be provided.

Please find attached a poster for the next Business Futures event to be held on Friday 9th October at the Ricoh Stadium Coventry.

The BADCASS ball tickets are now on sale and that means busy season is nearly over (nearly...). The theme is James Bond this year (quite out there and unique we thought!). Guys - this means tuxedos, witty repertoire and charm. Or you can come as Oddjob, Jaws (I've been told of someone who turned up in a shark costume to a James Bond themed party before) or even the very handsome Ernst Blofeld.
