Business Success in 2007

In 2007 BCA provided customised business assistance and ran a series of corporate networking events giving Australian companies a chance to meet leading international business leaders and strengthen existing networks against the backdrop of three of the largest global sporting events.
In France, despite the early exit of the Wallabies from the 2007 Rugby World Cup campaign, Australian companies maximised their trip off the field by attending the BCA corporate networking events in Montpellier, Bordeaux and Paris. For program highlights click here.
In association with the Victoria Racing Club, the BCA corporate networking program around the Melbourne Cup Carnival brought together 60 Australian and international guests within the International Lounge at Flemington Racecourse on Derby Day and on Melbourne Cup Day. Click here for further information.
From 17 March to 1 April 2007 Melbourne played host to one of the biggest events on the sporting calendar - the 12th FINA World Swimming Championships. BCA was there too, helping leverage interest in Australian business capability through a member-only networking breakfast. Click here for more information
