Welcome to San Francisco We are pleased that you are participating in our seminar The language of innovation: Leading across borders.

During this seminar we will discuss the importance of developing a language strategy, how that will help foster innovation within your company and what challenges companies face when embarking on such a project.

In the morning you will hear about how to make learning sustainable from Terrence Donahue, Corporate Director of Learning for Emerson Electric, Inc, as well as how communication impacts innovation from EF’s Chief Technology and Experience Officer Dr. Enio Ohmaye. The afternoon will be dedicated to workshops so that you leave with concrete ideas and actions that you can take back to your organization.

On Thursday, June 4th please meet us in the California meeting room of the InterContinental Mark Hopkins hotel at 8.45am; the seminar will begin promptly at 9.00am.

After the seminar we will see San Francisco from one of the city’s famous Duck Tours and enjoy dinner and drinks at RN74.

About EF Education First Founded by entrepreneur Bertil Hult, EF is a privately-held company with 16 divisions that offer a range of educational programs from language training, educational travel and academic degrees to cultural exchanges. With a mission to open the world through education, EF has helped people of all ages and nationalities become citizens of the world.

From Berlin to Beijing, Moscow to Mexico City, Dubai to Denver, EF operates 500 schools and offices in over 52 countries. To date, EF has helped over 15 million people to learn a new language, discover the world, or earn an academic degree.

“Education First” is more than our company name. It is our corporate passion.

Our history Bertil Hult started EF in Sweden in 1965. Because Bertil suffered from dyslexia (difficulty with reading and writing), he understood that traditional classroom-based teaching was not always the most effective way to learn. He came up with the idea to take a group of Swedish high school students to England to learn English. It was a simple business idea - traveling abroad to learn a language - but one with an enormous future.

EF quickly realized that many people were interested in traveling and studying abroad. In the 1970s, EF expanded rapidly, opening offices in most of Europe, as well as in Japan and Mexico. In the 1980s, EF opened in the United States, starting our high school exchange and educational tours programs. In

the last decade, we have continued our expansion by, among other things, opening English schools across China, the world’s largest market for education, and developing the largest and most sophisticated online English school available.
