SUMMARY:Bringing Communities Together - An Evening of Impact
DESCRIPTION:The BLCC is pleased to extend an invitation to its members to share this special event\, Bringing Communities Together – An Evening of Impact\, organised by PAGS and supported by several international chambers. \nThis evening offers a rare opportunity to reconnect with humanity through real experiences\, culture\, education\, and community\, brought to life through personal storytelling and reflection. \n  \nAbout the Event\nAn evening of conversation\, reflection\, and connection inspired by a recent journey through Bolivia by Giovanni and Luisa. \nGiovanni and Luisa are not activists\, politicians\, or professional speakers. They are Europeans who travelled\, listened\, helped\, and returned profoundly changed by what they witnessed. Their experience forms the foundation of this authentic and personal evening. \nTheir journey revealed a striking contrast between Bolivia’s extraordinary natural landscapes and rich cultural heritage\, and the daily realities faced by communities living with limited resources\, inequality\, and hardship. This contrast creates space for meaningful reflection on themes such as education\, dignity\, human connection\, and community support. \nThe evening is designed to encourage open and thoughtful conversation rather than formal presentation\, bringing people together through shared understanding and lived experience. \nSee full event details \n\n  \nWhat to Expect\n\nPersonal stories and imagery from Bolivia shared by Giovanni and Luisa\nReflections on education\, dignity\, inequality\, and community impact\nInformal networking with guests from education\, business\, and international organisations\nA warm Italian aperitivo featuring Parmigiano Reggiano\, prosecco\, and regional products from Reggio Emilia\n\n  \nThis event is open to educators\, professionals\, chamber members\, and anyone interested in community engagement\, education\, inclusion\, and meaningful social impact.

SUMMARY:Fox Williams: Agentlaw Seminar - "the key issues for 2025 for agents and distributors and principals and suppliers"
DESCRIPTION:BLCC member\, Fox Williams\, invites you to join their annual agentlaw seminar on Tuesday\, 25 November\, which will be held in person at our offices at 10 Finsbury Square from 6.00 pm. \nAt the seminar\, their speakers will address the following topics: \n\nWhen it comes to obtaining orders\, secret commission is to an agent as a back hander is to an employee–partner. Evie Meleagros and David Williams discuss the issue of unauthorised remuneration of agents and employees and the problems which arise for both payer\, payee\, and principal and employer following recent legislative changes.\nCalculating an agent’s indemnity entitlement on termination of the agency agreement under the Commercial Agents Regulations\, Steve Sidkin dispels some urban myths and considers whether indemnity can ever be better than compensation for terminated agents.\nBeware the terms on which you trade – for suppliers and distributors alike\, the question needs to be answered\, “Are your terms of trade fit for purpose?” following a spate of cyber hacking incidents over the last 12 months. Associate Guy Haslewood will provide his thoughts.\nAuthorising agents to act – recent judgments highlight the need to ensure that your agents/representatives/brokers are properly authorised. Associate Jessica Howard discusses the cases and the consequences if they are not addressed.\n\nThe seminar will be chaired by Steve Sidkin\, partner and chair of the agentlaw team at Fox Williams. \nAfter the formal presentations\, there will be an opportunity to ask questions of the speakers and then to network over drinks and canapés. \nTo register\, please click here.

SUMMARY:Louder Than Before: Shout at Cancer
DESCRIPTION:For the past 10 years\, Shout at Cancer has been transforming lives through the power of music\, helping individuals regain their voices and rebuild their confidence after a laryngectomy. This landmark concert is a celebration of resilience\, innovation\, and the unbreakable human spirit. With prestigious performances at venues such as the Royal Opera House in London\, Amsterdam Opera\, the V&A\, Barbican\, Bijloke in Ghent (BE)\, and Bozar in Brussels (BE)\, and recognition from the Prime Minister and The Queen\, this internationally acclaimed choir has captivated audiences and media worldwide. \nThrough musical storytelling\, the concert offers a deep\, emotional insight into the psychosocial impact of laryngectomy\, featuring powerful poetry\, new compositions\, and a groundbreaking laryngectomy vocal tract organ\, created using MRI scans of choir members. Accompanied by the Belgian award-winning Die Verdammte Spielerei Saxophone Band\, this performance blends science\, art\, and human perseverance\, proving that the voice is more than sound—it’s identity\, connection\, and strength. Join us for this extraordinary experience\, where technology and music unite to inspire and uplift. \nClick here to purchase tickets. \nThis concert was made possible thanks to the generous support of Atos Medical and the Flemish Government.
