Academic Directors Paddy Miller and Pedro Videla have organized a compelling program, featuring a stimulating mix of prominent keynote speakers, for the theme of this year's conference: 

                                                      Reframing the Future of Business

A particularly pertinent subject given the current global economic context, academics and professionals will provide participants with a thorough overview of the current worldwide economic landscape and the dramatic changes occuring within it, which call for more creative and innovative thinking.

Global shifts of power, the re-shaping of global resource utilization, the vertiginous IT environment and the near-collapse of the established financial system have made it necessary to:

 Re-define the business context 
 Create new frameworks          
 Explore unchartered territory
