Business Luncheon hosted by the Geneva Chapter with Guest Speaker, Diccon Bewes, author, traveller and chocolate lover! Behind the scenery There’s more to Switzerland than its wonderful landscape. Bestselling author, Diccon Bewes, will take us behind the scenery to reveal a few things we might not know about this unique country. There will also be time for questions, and a chance to buy signed copies of Diccon’s books, including two brand new titles. This will be Diccon’s second visit to the BSCC Geneva Chapter. He is brilliantly entertaining and very informative. Originally from deepest Hampshire. A degree in International Relations from LSE and an 18-month world trip set him up for a career in travel writing, though he took the scenic route via bookselling.

Now, he is a full-time writer, occasional radio guest and Swiss expert (especially now that he is recently “Swissed”)! Register early to avoid being left out!
