Summit on the Global Agenda 2011

The Summit on the Global Agenda is an annual global brainstorming that brings together members of the World Economic Forum’s Network of Global Agenda Councils. For the fourth consecutive year, over 700 members of the Network of Global Agenda will gather at the Summit to address over 70 areas, and comprise the most relevant experts from academia, business, civil society, and government. Council on Competitiveness CEO Deborah Wince-Smith will be participating in the Summit.

During two days, global experts from over 80 countries – thought leaders from academia, business, government, and civil society – will identify key issues, explore risks and unmet opportunities, and elaborate mitigation strategies in a series of interactive sessions and uniquely designed conversations across councils and relevant themes. The Network comprises 79 councils of 15-20 experts each, focusing on topics such as food security, climate change, financial stability, and geopolitical risk.
