Impressions of the Annual Summit 2010, September 9-12, Schloss Elmau

“Shaping and safeguarding future business – Applying lessons from the meltdown” was the banner of this year’s summit. More than 100 handpicked top managers, politicians and academics, actively participated in vibrant and sometimes contentious discussions.

Despite the tightly scheduled program, there was ample time along the way to deepen the discourse and exchange ideas – for instance while exploring the surroundings during the short “Walk and Talk” walking tour. Program specials, like a high-level art discussion and a painting class given for the participant’s partners lent added variety to the event and became some of the highlights beyond the regular Annual Summit’s program.
