Dear Colleagues,
Welcome to the latest edition of OnEurope,
Epsilon Events and Forum Europe's quarterly newsletter. With the
festive period almost upon us and with all signs pointing to a further
slowing of the global economy in 2009, we thought we would try and
offset some of the gloom with an exclusive Christmas OnEurope reader offer, details of which can be found below!
With
a packed programme of events next year, we kick off with our Annual
Financial Services Conference, with this year's theme of "Financial
Markets and Economic Recovery - Restoring Confidence and Responding to
Public Concerns". The conference, which will feature Charlie McCreevy, EU Commissioner for Internal Market & Services; Joaquín Almunia, EU Commissioner for Economic & Monetary Affairs and Miroslav Kalousek, Czech Minister of Finance & President of Ecofin Council (from Jan 2009), among others, will be significant for obvious reasons and further details can be found below.
We
also continue with our annual energy, spectrum management and climate
change conferences while we are also developing a number of exciting
new projects, all of which will offer stakeholders unparalleled
opportunities to engage with each other during a critical period of
uncertainty.
We would like to take this opportunity to thank all
our clients and partners, all those who have participated either as
delegates or speakers and finally to all our suppliers who help to
ensure that the service we provide continues to be without comparison
in Brussels.
From all of the team may we wish you a relaxing and
enjoyable festive break and we look forward to welcoming you fresh and
recharged in the New Year.
Best wishes,
James Wilmott & Dan Craft
