You should not have any issues with arriving here under ESTA for business purpose.
If you want more details you can take a look at the FAQ posted on the DHS Visa Waiver Program site as long as you arrive on VWP Signatory Carrier (which as you can you can see for yourself) is a pretty extensive list.
