BACKGROUND INFORMATION

The CEO Forum, in its 12th consecutive year, is the leading platform for business leaders to explore critical challenges and emerging opportunities for companies in Asia and other growth markets globally. Focused on strategic priorities, innovative business practices and the evolving role of the chief executive, the event is forward-looking and will define the agenda for tomorrow.

EVENT FORMAT

BusinessWeek events are committed to ensuring the conference dialogue is both interactive and dynamic. There are no powerpoint presentations. Instead, CEO level speakers participate in live strategic debates around core business issues, sitting on peer-level panels. A talk-show format helps to maximize the seamless interaction between speakers and participants, panels are led by ex-CNN anchor John Defterios and the BusinessWeek Editors to ensure the integrity of the dialogue is maintained.

As The CEO Forum enters its 12th successive year, we take this opportunity to redefine the forum into a more intimate close-knit dialogue among business leaders. We believe a smaller and more intimate gathering will further opportunities for invited participants to share their thoughts and insights on the prevailing and emerging issues confronting business. The redefined framework of the forum will also help create an environment that supports and encourages in-depth dialogue across sessions. The CEO Forum, provides you with more insights and opportunities to know the issues.
