About Us

American Business Conferences is a division of London Business Conferences Limited, a UK-based company specializing in hosting industry-specific global summits for end-users of new technologies, including government, research and private sector organizations. Our mission is to combine the traditional values of program integrity and quality as well as excellent customer service with outstanding value for money.

Through our innovative approach to program design and use of modern marketing techniques, we guarantee that our events will attract a minimum of 100 delegates and that the right balance of end-users to suppliers are present at each event. We also ensure that the majority of our speakers are practitioners, case studies or end-users in order that attendees gain the maximum value and learning opportunity from attending.

Our Track Record

American Business Conferences have hosted many highly successful Summits in the USA, including the greatly attended “Future Fuels Rail Traction Summit” and multiple installments of the “Government ID Technology” and “Carbon Footprint Management” Summits. While continuing our hugely popular series of Summits, we were delighted to transpose our expertise in the future transportation and future energy fields to the USA by bringing you the very successful “Enabling Electric Vehicle Markets” Summit in 2008.

Overall, some 2000 participants have benefited from our US Summits so far and lined up, we have a fantastic program of global events focusing on key learning outcomes and practical solutions for future transportation in 2010 including: “Financing High Speed Rail” on 23rd – 24th February in Chicago and “EV Battery Tech 2010: Global Cost Reduction Initiative” on 25th – 26th March 2010 in London.

Also on the schedule for American Business Conferences for 2010 are “Water Footprinting And Availability Risk Management” (25th – 26th February 2010 in San Francisco) and the next installment of “Carbon Footprint Management” in April, both for our extensive client base of FMCG manufacturers and retailers.
