Sentosa, Singapore, 10-12 September, 2007
From panels led by editors, to one on one interviews with business and political visionaries, to unique networking exercises and business school style case studies, attendees are enveloped in the world of Forbes from the moment they register. Sponsors have face-to-face access to their most important prospects and are able to associate their brand, product or service with intellectual discourse of the highest caliber.
Attendees are active participants in each debate – not passive members of a lecturer’s audience. This dialogue, taking place in elegant and interesting environments, is the essence of Forbes conferences.
Sessions include:
- •
New drivers of the global economy.
- •
Private equity: taking over the world?
- •
Global real estate: the new location for investment.
