About GBW
In 2009, BIBA launched International Business Week to foster an increased appreciation among Barbadians for the international business sector and its contribution to the Barbados economy. In 2020, we rebranded to Global Business Week to continue focusing national attention on the nature, importance and contribution of the global business sector.
This year, Global Business Week will continue to explore opportunities in trade to and from Barbados, capture new employment and business opportunities, and further exploration of thought leadership covering a multiplicity of engaging topics under the pivotal and strategic theme – Adapt. Evolve. Execute – Be the Change

CAREERS SHOWCASE & WORKSHOP
1 pm – 6 pm
Staged each year at the University of the West Indies, this showcase attracts hundreds of tertiary-level students and mid-career professionals looking for expert guidance from representatives across the international business sector on what should be the next steps along their professional paths and how to position themselves to take advantage of all this sector has to offer.
This event also offers a key opportunity for recruiters to meet potential new hires while showcasing their organisations.
Thursday 24, & Friday 25, October 2024
2 Day Conference
From 8:30 am
As Barbados continues to seek further diversification in its source markets for global business, the flagship event for our week of activities is always our Global Business Conference. Invited speakers will be local, regional and international business leaders with strategic knowledge and experience operating in global markets.
As usual, this year’s conference will be a must-attend event for anyone interested in expanding into the sector and gaining first-hand insight into how it functions. Over 200 participants are expected for this conference.

Ben Arrindell Golf Classic
From 1 p.m.
This is the final event in the week of activities, dedicated toward raising contributions for the BIBA Charity Fund.
Golf enthusiasts can continue to honour the memory of Ben Arrindell and his unwavering support for his adopted island home by supporting the BIBA Charity in its fundraising efforts while enjoying a lively golf tournament in the form of a 4 ball Texas Scramble.
Proceeds from the inaugural tournament went to the Queen Elizabeth Hospital’s Artificial Kidney Unit.
