Origins - Governance
THE BIRTH OF BAD+
BAD+ is the fruit of a meeting in May 2020 between Jean-Daniel Compain, who has long wished to bestow his hometown, Bordeaux, with an event worthy of the city's history and its place on the international scene and Bordeaux Events And More - BEAM. They were joined by the Steering Committee.
JEAN-DANIEL COMPAIN - Commissioner-General of BAD+
General Manager of the Culture, Luxury and Leisure division of the Reed Group for 20 years, Jean-Daniel Compain developed and managed some the Group’s key events for the general public.
