Happy 4th of
July! With the exception of our GABA Stammtisch in various
locations throughout California, there will be no events in July. We look forward to a very busy and productive August starting at 4th with the panel discussion of active corporate investors from SAP, Paypal
and Intel on
"Leveraging Corporate Partnerships and Investments".
Followed by the August 17th event
"Sustainability - Between lip service and true actions" which will
present an international study regarding the American and
German sustainability perceptions and consumer behauviors. And last but not least celebrate the summer with beer & brats at our famous annual
GABA Sommerfest on August 28th.
Sincerely,
Caroline Raynaud, Executive Director
