AN EXCLUSIVE DINNER AND BOARDROOM MEETING
The Economist's Global Agenda Meeting is much more than a simple get-together of global leaders from many fields. Those invited to participate represent the cream of global business, politics and thought-leadership. Invitees range from heads of $1 billion-plus global corporations to prize-winning academics and senior policymakers.
Alongside The Economist’s Editor-in-Chief will be four other members of his senior editorial team who will lead the discussion of the topics that are dominating the boardroom and world economy - a debate of great minds on key business, political and economic issues. In the spirit of The Economist, the meeting focuses on a free and open exchange of ideas.
Last year, the proceedings were kicked off by the Rt Hon Dr Vince Cable MP, Secretary of State for Business, Innovation and Skills, UK Government, who gave a keynote at the dinner. The meeting closed the next day with an interview with Justin King, Chief Executive of Sainsbury's.
The Global Agenda has two parts: a dinner on Thursday November 10th, with a specially invited speaker, followed by a meeting from 08.30-13.15 on Friday November 11th.
