★ Social & networking drinks before & after main event
★ Presentation on Voter Registration with Federal Voting Assistance Program: We're very excited that David Beirne, Director, Assistance of the US Government's Federal Voting Assistance Program, is flying in from Washington DC to speak on the importance of voting. David & a colleague will actually assist the audience to register on the evening if they haven't already, then personally take back the forms to DC and get them into the system. Even if they've already organized their postal vote there will still be a lot to entertain and inform the guests...
★What the latest polls are saying: a presentation by Ipsos MORI's Sir Robert Worcester
★American expat comedian Rich Hall will cast his acerbic eye over the campaign, & Erich McElroy brings his Electile Dysfunction show straight from the Edinburgh Fringe
★Panel Discussion and Q&A, moderated by Bloomberg's Stryker McGuire, focusing on what the election will mean for expats. We have a carefully balanced roster of panel members Larry Sanders (brother of Sen. Bernie Sanders, Green Party spokesman), Bill Barnard (former Chair of Democrats Abroad), Jan Halper-Hayes (Worldwide Vice-Chair of Republicans Overseas), broadcaster Charlie Wolf and Anthony Ugorji (Co-Chair, American Citizens Abroad)
