Dear Members and contacts,
The new season has begun, and several successful events were held in September & October. A fascinating session on Intellectual Property was hosted by Delacour Dania, BCCD collaborated with AIESEC to discuss the role of 'Internationals in Danish Business Life', and Bendt Bendtsen spoke about the Challenges for the EU at the September Lunch, where this year's scholars received their awards. You can catch up on past events by perusing our news section, and pick up notes and presentations from our download page.

From the Secretariat:
You may have noticed that we are using our "Linked In" group more and more as part of our new social media strategy. If you have a Linked in profile and haven't yet joined the BCCD group - ask us and we will approve you. Then you can use that way to follow BCCD activities too!
Our special supplement to the Copenhagen Post was published in September. Corporate members should have received copies by now and we hope that individual members will pick up a copy at an event. If you want to be sent a copy or you'd like more for your reception area, please just call or mail us.
Enjoy the Autumn, and make the most of the events on offer. We are going to start asking participants at events to let us know what they thought so that we can improve, so help us to help you - spend the couple of minutes it takes! If you have suggestions for other events or topics you would like us to focus on, then please let us know.
Kind regards,
Penny Schmith
Executive Director
