Kick off the morning of the BOE with an address from our partners at MBDA, MBDA awards presentations and robust program featuring our various industry groups.
Seven of our Industry Groups – each made up of corporate members in a within a particular industry – are going to give us their pitches:
  • Who they are;
  • What companies are in the industry groups;
