Refreshments and light bites provided

Event Brief:
Organizations are not getting more efficient despite gathering more and more data.
BABC Texas members Garner and BJSS believe there are two core reasons why efficiency is not improving.
1. The misguided myth that only perfect data will reveal the truth. Businesses are searching under couch cushions for every byte of data, polishing red herrings and expecting to catch white whales.
2. The mischaracterization of organizations as machines. In reality, every business unit operates as a human community.
Join Mark Childerson, Product Manager, Garner and Mitch Hollander, Data Engineer, BJSS as they provide a better understanding of how to operate a data-driven community — or at least how not to.

EACC FLORIDA: Webinar | Business in Flux – Perspectives from a Transatlantic Panel of C-Suite Women
2023-02-21 08:45 - 09:45 (America/New_York) | TX
At the end of 2022, the IMF’s annual economic outlook for 2023 projected weak growth across the world in the face of elevated inflation, higher interest rates, reduced investment, disruptions caused by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and the lingering impact of COVID especially in China. The sharp downturn in growth was expected to be widespread, with World Bank forecasts in 2023 revised down for 95% of advanced economies and nearly 70% of emerging market and developing economies. Although the economic indicators at the start of 2023 seem to be more favorable than expected, any new adverse development—such as higher-than-expected inflation, abrupt rises in interest rates to contain it, a resurgence of the COVID-19 pandemic, or escalating geopolitical tensions—could push the global economy into recession.

In this program, a transatlantic panel of C-Suite women joined by Arancha González Laya, former Minister of Foreign Affairs of Spain and Dean of the School of International Affairs at Sciences Po in Paris, will explore these and other challenges faced by global companies in this uncertain global geopolitical and economic environment.
SPEAKERS

Carol Cabezas, President – Azamara Cruise Lines
Arancha Gonzalez-Laya, Dean of the Paris School of International Affairs at Sciences Po (Paris)
Daniella Silberstein, Shareholder – Greenberg Traurig and Co-chair of Greenberg Traurig’s Miami Women’s Initiative [Moderator]
Additional speakers to be announced

TOPICS FOR DISCUSSION

What are the economic perspectives for 2023 and is recession still a risk?
How will business investment respond to recent changes in asset prices and the commitment of monetary policymakers around the world to slower growth?
What are the perspectives for the transatlantic relationship in relation to business and trade ?
What will the return of industrial policy in the U.S. (with the Inflation Reduction Act) mean for transatlantic investment and trade?
What will be the longer-term ramifications for global fragmentation of the sanctions imposed on Russia and on Chinese semiconductors?
Are there new roles for China, India and in particular Latin America in this new economic environment?
How are these trends playing out in places like Florida and Miami in their efforts to establish themselves as global business hubs?

2023-02-28 08:00 - 09:00 (America/Chicago) | TX

EACC NY: Webinar | Quarterly EU Economic Update - Sailing Through Calmer Seas?
2023-05-22 12:00 - 13:00 (America/Chicago) | TX
The European Union has weathered the impact of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine much better than expected. The commodity price shock of 2022 is now a thing of the past, as Europe has pivoted away from Russian imports of oil and natural gas with amazing speed. Not only has the EU avoided energy shortages, but gas prices have now fallen below pre-war levels. This resilience has allowed the EU to shrug off fears of a recession and continue its economic expansion.
Growth in 2023 is likely to be stronger than expected just a few months ago. Historically strong labor markets, improving consumer confidence, and solid corporate profits are all working to keep the expansion on track, even in the face of continuing headwinds from the war. Though inflation remains too high, it is now coming down and should continue to ease in the months ahead. The EU is making massive investments in the green and digital transitions, which will secure Europe’s energy independence, support growth and innovation, and promote a cleaner, healthier environment.
Join us for an in-depth analysis of the European economy and the newly released Spring 2023 Economic Forecast. Our panel will discuss the recent economic data and public policy developments through mid-May and weigh the prospects for European and global growth against a range of potential risk factors.
SPEAKERS:

EACC NY - Webinar | Self-writing Software: Who Coded the String First? - Copyright Concerns with Software Created by AI
2023-07-12 09:00 - 10:00 (America/New_York) | TX
With all the hype around the opportunities and challenges presented by Artificial Intelligence, more and more focus is being paid on where the content that AI regurgitates actually comes from. There have been a growing number of complaints about companies that are ‘’training” their AI systems using data that does not belong to them. The concerns were expressed by a broad range of professionals, including writers, artists, composers, etc. After researchers built a system to write computer programs, picking up strings of code from an untold number of programs posted to the internet, another group of professionals joined the protesters, software writers.
Courts are trying to establish how intellectual property laws should be applied in cases of self-writing software, and several cases have already been filed. To protect themselves from these risks, software companies that use generative AI need to ensure that they are in compliance with the law and take steps to mitigate potential risks, such as ensuring they use training data free from unlicensed content or they pay for the licenses – a goal that is not easy to accomplish if your AI goes fishing in the vast data pools of the internet.
Our panel will discuss the many open questions about self-writing software and copyrights. Join us and hear about what the challenges and possible solutions are to avoid breaching the intellectual property laws in Europe and the U.S.
Issues to be discussed:
• Awareness of Limitations
> Need for human oversight – will it decrease or increase with ‘smarter’ AI?
>Bad (or malicious) code – how to detect it and who will check?
• Regulation/Ethics
>Who can /should regulate? Governments and/or trade organizations?
> Bias: Who ultimately controls the selection algorithm of what to pick and where to pick from?
• Technology and Its Limitations
> Certifying code, who and how?
> Quality tests
> Dataset related questions
• Intellectual Property-Related Issues
> Do we need to rethink IP?
> How to track offenders (whom to prosecute if code is ‘stolen’?
SPEAKERS:
• Jeffrey W. Gluck, Partner, PANITCH SCHWARZE
• Louis-Pierre Gravelle, Vice President – Practice Management Committee, FICPI (International Federation of Intellectual Property Attorneys)
• Victor Gonzalez Pacheco, Adjunct Professor, IE UNIVERSITY
• Derek Slater, Founder, PROTEUS STRATEGIES

EACC Florida | Expanding into the United States – IRA & CHIPS: Challenges & Opportunities
2023-09-26 08:00 - 21:00 (America/New_York) | TX
The IRA and CHIPS Act is designed to increase investments into infrastructure, energy projects, and semiconductor manufacturing and supply chains in the United States through various federal grants, tax credits, and other incentives. Companies even remotely connected to the semiconductor or green energy sectors have been looking for ways to access the billions of dollars of incentives and subsidies being made available by the Federal Government.
Is your company connected to these industries? Are you already in the US or are you considering expanding your operations to the US? Have you considered taking advantage of these US subsidies by entering the US market directly or via a partnership? Is this a good time to do so? Have you considered Florida?
Join our panel of experts who will share insights about opportunities and challenges in US market expansion of European companies in the era of the Inflation Reduction Act and closer US/EU collaboration with a focus on real estate, construction, renewable energy and green projects.

EACC NY | Quarterly EU Economic Update for 2024 Converging on a Soft Landing
2023-11-17 00:00 - 01:00 (America/New_York) | TX
Join us for an in-depth analysis of the European economy
and the newly released Autumn 2023 Economic Forecast.

The US economy has grown faster than the European Union’s for the past five quarters. There are a variety of reasons for the discrepancy in performance between the EU and the US, including the trade and resulting energy price shock in Europe prompted by Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine; fiscal policy, and the lingering effects of pandemic era stimulus programs; as well labor market dynamics. The latest forecast shows that the third quarter may have marked the peak of this growth divergence, as US economic growth accelerated while GDP in Europe held steady. Yet US growth is projected to slow over the course of next year, while in the EU growth is set to pick up.
Our panel will discuss the recent economic data and public policy developments through mid-November and weigh the prospects for European and global growth, interest rates, inflation, budget deficits, the state of transatlantic and global sovereign debt developments, and energy prices in the context of increasing geo-political risks.

SPEAKERS:
• Ben Carliner, Senior Economist, DELEGATION of the EU to the U.S.
• Maddalena Perretti, Economist – Advisor, ECB REPRESENTATION to the U.S.
• Yvonne Bendinger-Rothschild, Executive Director, EACCNY [Moderator]

SMU | Women & Economic Freedom: What Does The Research Say?
2024-03-21 18:00 - 20:00 (Europe/Paris) | Hughes-Trigg Student Center, 3140 Dyer St,, Dallas, TX, 75205
Thursday, March 21, 2024, 6:00 pm Reception, 7:00 pm Panel Discussion

Parking information can be found below.

Over the past few decades, hundreds of studies have found that economic freedom is associated with a variety of beneficial outcomes including faster economic growth, higher incomes, a cleaner environment, and a variety of other things. Yet in many countries, men and women lack access to the same economic opportunities.
In order to understand why this matters, the Bridwell Institute commissioned fifteen papers to study the relationship between women and economic freedom. This panel discussion highlights some of that research and features two of our paper authors: Rosie Fike (Texas Christian University), and Anne Rathbone Bradley (The Fund for American Studies).
