The BusinessWeek European Leadership Forum is an elite gathering of European corporate leaders and leading policy makers. Facilitating cross-industry discussion and debate at the very highest level, the event celebrates the best in Europe, with the conference programme attracting thought leaders from both the corporate and political world.
This year's event takes place against a backdrop of some of the biggest challenges faced by the European community since its inception. Fundamental questions about the future shape of Europe will be high up on the agenda as our speakers address strategic issues around the economy, competition, innovation and performance drivers.

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 delegates, panels are led by ex-CNN anchor John Defterios and the BusinessWeek European Editors to ensure the integrity of the dialogue is maintained.

Discussion is free-flowing and two-way. The latest hand-held voting devices enable participants to instantaneously and confidentially respond to questions posed during sessions, whilst built in microphones mean delegates can challenge speakers during the Q&A sessions
