Echoes of the 2010 Davos World Economic Forum | North Beach

Submitted by the Event Organizer

Almost two years after the beginning of the global financial crisis, the World Economic Forum (WEF) Annual Meeting dedicated its 40th anniversary to a discussion on how to improve the state of the world through a unique call to action: Rethink, Redesign, and Rebuild. To this end, the agenda of the over 2500 stakeholders from business, government, the media, science, and civil society focused on inquiries such as how to strengthen economic and social welfare, how to mitigate global risks, and how to ensure sustainability at a global and regional level.

swissnex San Francisco is pleased to host local 2010 WEF participants Jill Tarter, director of the Center for SETI (Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence) Research; Alison Gopnik, professor of psychology and affiliate professor of philosophy at UC Berkeley; Loic Le Meur, founder and CEO of Seesmic.com; and Paul Saffo (moderator), forecaster, essayist, and visiting scholar at Media X at Stanford University, for a debriefing session on WEF themes.

This is a unique opportunity share the speakers’ impressions and lessons learned in an intimate setting. The panelists bring their individual perspectives on how to rethink, redesign, and rebuild our economic and social system.
