ARE YOU THE FACE OF OPPORTUNITY?

British Airways is awarding business people round-trip complimentary flights to London and beyond. Three entire planes are dedicated to the contest, flying from New York City, Chicago and Los Angeles. We are also hosting several events, which include access to a forum of business leaders & peers. Finally, winners can travel into central London or anywhere else British Airways flies and attend their own.

British Airways wishes applicants the best of luck.

The prize? First, a send off event with other winners before your flight to London from New York, Chicago or Los Angeles. Then, in London, networking opportunities and insights on growing your business internationally from top business leaders and government officials. Finally, continue on your own path, to wherever British Airways flies, to have the meetings you need to move your business forward.

The return date is open. Tell us what opportunities you would take advantage of – whether they are meetings with potential investors, visits to distributors, or introductions to new clients. You’ll have the time to organize your own meetings for your business in London or beyond before returning to the US.

British Airways understands amazing things can happen when people come face-to-face.
