FORTUNE International Editor Robert Friedman Discusses FORTUNE Global Forum 2007

New Delhi, India (PRWEB) October 5, 2007

FORTUNE International Editor Robert Friedman participated in a Q&A about the world’s premier summit for chief executives, The FORTUNE Global Forum 2007, which will bring together more than 300 global participants in New Delhi, 29-31 October 2007.

Highlights include:

Q. What is the FORTUNE Global Forum and why is it the premier summit for chief executives in the business world? What differentiates the Forum from other executive-level events and conferences?

Friedman: The FORTUNE Global Forum is unique because it is for CEOs and chairmen only; because its program is developed by FORTUNE’s editors; and because it provides a truly global platform for exchanging ideas among dealmakers, entrepreneurs, academics, and executives. It is a traveling road show that stops in a different country every 18 months to continue to the conversation about global business.

Q. The FORTUNE Global Forum was inaugurated in 1995 and has been previously hosted in Singapore, Barcelona, Bangkok, Budapest, Shanghai, Paris, Hong Kong, Washington D.C., and Beijing. Why was India, and New Delhi in particular, selected as the site for this year’s Forum?

Friedman: India was an obvious choice not only because many Indian companies are beginning to compete on the global stage but also because India’s economy is finally opening up enough to attract multinational companies into the country to market products, engage in R&D, and take advantage of India’s high-tech manufacturing sector.

Q. The theme of the 2007 Forum is “Mastering the Global Economy.” Why was this theme selected?

Friedman: It serves the needs of both Indian companies learning how to compete globally and multinational companies learning how to do business in India. And what could be a better topic for all the “masters of the universe” who will be in attendance?

Q. In one Forum session, New York Times columnist and author Thomas Friedman will interview U.S. Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson about U.S. perspectives on the global economy. Can you provide any insight on why these thought leaders were paired? Also, what questions would you most want to hear answered by Secretary Paulson?

Friedman: It was a great accomplishment to get Hank Paulson to come to India on what will be his first visit as U.S. Treasury Secretary. As a former Goldman Sachs CEO and now the top economic official in Washington, Paulson brings with him a wealth of knowledge about the global economy.

As the foreign affairs columnist for the New York Times and author of the best-selling book The World is Flat, Tom Friedman brings with him a broad knowledge of India’s role in the outsourcing revolution that has helped reshape the global economy. Who will flatten whom in this encounter? Should make for a most intelligent conversation–and is likely to be one of the highlights of the conference.

Q. Many of India’s top leaders will be attending the Forum, including Honorable Minister for Commerce and Industry, Kamal Nath. Can you explain how these leaders will be integrated into the Forum program and what value their participation will provide to the chief executives in attendance?

Friedman: Finance Minister Chidambaram, Commerce and Industry Minister Kamal Nath, Planning Commission Chairman Montek Ahluwalia, and other Indian officials will be spending considerable time at the conference in private meetings and mingling with delegates. This is one of the special things that the Global Forum offers to its guests: intimate contact with the decision-makers in the host country. And, speaking of hosts, Minister Nath will be hosting one of a dozen private home dinners at his residence in Dehli for a small group of FORTUNE Global Forum delegates.

Q. What sessions most interest you at the 2007 Forum?

Friedman: I’m looking forward to hearing many of the great speakers we have lined up, from Michael Dell and John Chambers to Nandan Nilekani. And, of course, to my own panels.

Q. Two FORTUNE Editors will be blogging live from the Forum: FORTUNE Asia Editor Clay Chandler on his Chasing the Dragon blog and South Asia Contributor John Elliott on his Riding the Elephant blog. For those who can’t attend the Forum in person, are the blogs the best way for them to follow the action?

Friedman: Not only are Clay Chandler and John Elliott blogging, but all of the FORTUNE writers and editors attending the Forum in New Delhi–16 in all–will be contributing to the official Global Forum blog at http://globalforum.blogs.fortune.com. In addition, you can view video from select business sessions at http://money.cnn.com/video/globalforum. So, yes, if you can’t be there, this is the best way to pretend you were.

Q. Lastly, what do you think will be the most valuable takeaways for participants after attending the 2007 program?

Friedman: I hope folks get out of the hotel and explore New Delhi. It’s a memorable city. But even if they don’t, they’ll definitely get a taste of India. It’s a chaotic, democratic, sometimes frustrating jumble of people and ideas–just like our program. It’s a nation of contrasts and contradictions poised for economic takeoff. Who said elephants can’t fly?

The World’s Top Destination Management Companies (DMCs) and Meeting Planners Come Together at the Global Events Partner’s (GEP) 2007 Summit

Paradise Island, Bahamas (PRWEB) August 4, 2007

Global Events Partners (GEP), the leading partnership of destination management companies worldwide, welcomed meeting professionals and GEP Partner DMCs from more than thirty countries, five continents including the world’s most important meeting destinations to its annual Summit Meeting, held at the Atlantis Resort, Paradise Island, Bahamas.

The Value of Education – and Relationships

Planners, who came from the U.S. and international destinations, experienced a series of intensive workshops and educational seminars, networking opportunities, and at social and cultural events designed to reflect the location of the Summit in the Bahamas. Topics included pricing DMC services, “hot” trends in more than 25 top destinations around the world, contingency planning and increasing event return on investment (ROI).

By acclaim, the Summit, GEP’s ninth annual gathering, was the most productive and information-packed to date.

Sharon Schenk, Senior Meeting Planner at Deloitte, said, “It is one of the most rewarding industry meetings I attend and I look forward to many more,” a sentiment echoed by dozens of planners from corporate and third party client companies.

Clients and Partners had the opportunity to meet face to face in pre-arranged one-on-one meetings, and to network informally at several receptions and dinners, featuring as a backdrop the lush warmth and impeccable service of the Atlantis.

New Partners – Hot Destinations

GEP, which now has Partner DMCs in more than 70 DMC markets worldwide, welcomed new Partners from destinations as diverse as Japan, the Czech Republic, and Memphis, Tennessee.

“The GEP Summit was a unique and valuable introduction to the GEP system,” said William Lobkowicz, CEO of Lobkowicz Events Management based in Prague. He concluded, “By joining the GEP Partnership we have not only enhanced our position in the local market, but also seized the opportunity to form relationships with some of the top meeting planners in the industry — as this Summit demonstrated.”

A Summit highlight, entitled “Hip Hot Spots,” featured updates from more than 25 destinations around the world, providing planners with insight into the best options for future meetings and events.

Pricing DMC Services: New Model Goes “Back to the Basics”

A perennial industry issue — pricing — took center stage in the GEP Partners’ business meeting, and a new model for pricing DMC services emerged which combines business efficiency with the kind of transparency consistently sought by clients.

Chris White, GEP’s Chairman and Chief Executive, said, “We went ‘Back to the Basics’ by recognizing that the DMC business is essentially a service business and that our pricing should be based on that assumption.”

Discussions among GEP Partners, affirmed that a pricing model based on the service needs required to efficiently and creatively plan and execute an event, flowing from the reasonable cost of the staff time and logistical support required, should be the foundation of pricing DMC services.

“We reached broad consensus that as in all business agreements, the best deals are the deals that serve both parties equitably, transparently, and with the lowest possible administrative cost,” concluded White. “By pricing DMC services on a classic service industry model, we can help our own profitability even as we continue providing the impeccable event management quality and creativity demanded by our clients.”

Personal Relationships – Top Names

White concluded, “This was our most ambitious and exciting Summit ever, with planners traveling from every corner of the globe, to exchange ideas and professional experiences in open sessions, but also to highlight the importance of one-on-one discussions and relationships. We are proud to offer the only truly international, interactive, educational forum for DMC and meeting planning professionals worldwide.”

Planners in attendance at the 2007 GEP Summit came from diverse industries and leading companies such as Bain & Company; Deloitte; Novartis Pharmaceuticals and Novell. Plans are currently under development for GEP’s 2008 Summit meeting, which will take place in Paris.

About Global Events Partners (GEP)

Launched in 1999, Global Events Partners includes more than 70 leading destination management companies (DMCs) around the world. A DMC is a professional services company possessing extensive local knowledge and resources, specializing in the design and execution of group tours, transportation, events, activities and program logistics. GEP partners provide consistently high quality DMC services in the most desirable locations worldwide. Thanks to affiliations with sister company, Krisam Group – the top independent national sales office for hotels -, and production company August Jackson, GEP offers a unique “one-stop” solution for corporate meeting planners worldwide.

Global Spa Summit’s 2nd Annual ‘Student Challenge’ Puts Spotlight on Architecture and Design

GSS Logo

New York, NY (PRWEB) February 23, 2010

The Global Spa Summit (GSS), the leading annual event for spa and wellness industry executives, today announced that it has selected the architecture departments of Istanbul Technical University and the University of Southern California (USC) to compete in its 2010 Student Challenge. Student teams from each institution will develop new, feasible design concepts for the ancient hydrothermal area in Kula, Turkey.

Each year GSS enlists students from major academic institutions to create spa and wellness concepts of the future. For 2010, students are tasked with creating environmentally- and culturally-aware designs for a new eco-tourism destination that could both revitalize a regional economy – and create new relevance for the broader ideas of ‘spa’ and ‘wellness.’

“We suggested keeping the competition tangible and local by exploring the potential of a real Turkish site: Kula is a traditional Ottoman settlement, famous for its geothermal resources and ancient spa traditions dating back to the Roman period,” said Dr. Yuksel Demir of Istanbul Technical University’s Architecture Department. “Kula’s Governor and Mayor have been enthusiastic and supportive, and our students’ work is underway. The Summit is offering them a unique platform to share their ideas, and the project is helping Kula share its local potential, globally.”

The design projects will be formally presented May 17th, 2010, and the winning team will be announced at the Summit’s opening gala dinner that evening at the Cirigan Palace Kempinski, Istanbul. Students are competing for cash prizes as well as the visibility their published projects will receive.

In the design competition, students are asked to investigate an expanded notion of ‘wellness’ that includes healthy economies, healthy communities, and a healthy environment through the architectural lens. The site at Kula provides a rich context for this design intervention: a historic 5th-century town, a distinctive volcanic landscape of thermal springs, local handicraft traditions, and an integrated tourism plan for an eco/geothermal national park.

“The GSS Challenge gives our students the opportunity to combine history, theory, and critical analytic skills with their own creative process and vision, to apply toward a marvelously multifaceted real-world design problem,” noted Professor Richard Corsini, Director of the student project at USC.

“The setting in Asia Minor helps us understand that architecture is situated at the nexus of politics and culture. I hope that our work will demonstrate how architecture can play a critical role in fostering progress and beauty in a global culture that becomes ever more complex by the day.”

According to the GSS, students will first compete against others at their respective institutions. Each school’s winning team will then present their concepts to the Summit delegation and an elite panel of judges, comprised of industry leaders from across the world, including architects and government officials.

Last year’s ‘Challenge’ involved students from leading Swiss hospitality school, Ecole hôtelière de Lausanne (ELH), competing against students from Paris-based Institut de Management International (IMHI) to create an innovative spa business concept for the 21-to-30 (‘Gen Y’) demographic. IMHI’s ‘Chill House’ concept took home the 2009 prize.

The Summit will be held at the historic Ciragan Palace Kempinski Hotel in Istanbul from May 17th-19th. Attended by top spa, hospitality, tourism and wellness executives from around the world, 2010’s invitation-only Summit is expected to attract a record number of delegates, representing 40 countries.
