NEW YORK - Tuesday, June 21st 2011 [ME NewsWire]
Two-day business summit will include a meeting of President’s Council on Jobs and Competitiveness as well as sessions on China, the New Arab World and the age of hyper transparency
(BUSINESS WIRE)-- The New York Forum opens this morning (June 20) with its Founder and Chairman, Richard Attias, welcoming more than 700 top CEOs, financiers and government officials under the theme Committed to Growth.
The morning’s sessions are dedicated to the pressing global problem of jobs, and Attias explained: “The Forum brings together public and private officials to discuss global challenges, and the issue of jobs is first on the agenda. We have not heard enough from corporate leaders on how they can spur job growth, and we look forward to hearing the ideas – and challenging them.”
One of the panels for the half-day session on jobs is highly significant, because The White House has asked several members of the President’s Council on Jobs and Competitiveness, and a Senior Advisor to the President, to join the program.
Valerie Jarrett, a Senior Advisor to President Obama, will join four of the Council members in the session. Those Council members are: AOL co-founder Steve Case, Comcast Chairman and CEO Brian Roberts, Laura Tyson of the Haas School of Business, and UBS Americas Chairman Robert Wolf.
More than 100 headline speakers will present their ideas and solutions during the Forum. They include: Michael Bloomberg, Mayor of New York City; James Turley, CEO, Ernst & Young; Tom Glocer, the CEO of Thomson Reuters; former Pfizer Chairman Jeffrey Kindler; Jaloul Ayed, the Tunisian Minister of Finance; and Manuel Camacho Solis, former Mayor of Mexico City.
As well as the half-day session on jobs, other key sessions will cover The Chinese Model; the New Arab World; and The Age of Hypertransparency.
The New York Forum was created to bring together the main global players from the private sector and the actionable outcomes from the conference will be presented to the G20 Summit in Cannes in November.
This year’s business summit will look at the role of entrepreneurship in driving economic change, the complicated relationship between business and government, the perspective a new generation of leaders is bringing to business, and the dynamics of two of the world's thriving economic powers, Brazil and China.
