A second Renaissance is brewing. In leadership we even see a paradigm shift. So much the better because strong leadership, from individuals and organisations, is needed to solve global crises.

As always, the Conference will be a mix of thought-provoking plenary introductions and moderated Roundtable dialogues. Three extraordinary speakers will challenge your thinking.

Jim Garrison is president of Wisdom University and of the Gorbachev Foundation/USA. He will speak about the global emergence of Cultural Creatives and their contribution to the solution of world crises. Jim Garrison says 'this is the first time since the Renaissance that a new value system has arisen in Western civilization

Jeremy Black is Professor of History at the University of Exeter. He will talk about the rise and fall of great powers through the ages and the lessons executives can learn from the dynamics of change in world history.

Francine Houben of Mecanoo is one of the few female architects to have reached an international position of eminence. Being herself a Cultural Creative, she will talk about the philosophy behind her designs.
