Last year’s free public lecture took the form of a panel discussion on the topic “The Economic Transformation of Barbados – A Business Perspective”. The moderator was David Ellis, Station Manager, Starcom Network Inc., and the panellists were John Bayne, Owner, Bajan Cakes, Ed Clarke, Chairman, BPSA, Co-Chair BERT Monitoring Committee, Dr. Kevin Greenidge, Senior Technical Advisor, Government of Barbados, and Trisha Tannis, President, BCCI, and CEO, Unicomer (Barbados) Group. There was lively engagement from the 116 attendees, and there was good media coverage of the event.
