ESMT Annual Forum 2009
Review
The 2nd ESMT Annual Forum, held on July 1-2, 2009, brought together over 270 delegates as well as international high-caliber speakers and panelists from the business world, politics, media, and academia.
What they said:
Michael Diekmann, Chairman of the Board of Management, Allianz SE, and Chairman of the ESMT Foundation Board of Trustees
“With such a demanding program, ESMT is providing an international platform for critical and frank discussion among industry heads, politics, and academic experts around the financial and economic crisis.”
Jonathan Rosenthal, European Finance and Business Correspondent, The Economist
“…I think the real value here was that people spoke their minds, that there wasn’t a sense of people saying the politically correct thing, but actually saying it how they saw it, and that was valuable.”
Anna Gryaznova, Graduate School of Business Administration, Moscow State University
“…Some people say that if you get at least one idea for yourself out of a conference that it’s a success. We managed to get much more than just one idea out of here, and we would like to congratulate ESMT for this job which was done very very well.”
