[RestoreGore]

Looks to me as though this is part of the lead in to the Alliance for Climate Protection's three year ad and information blitz. Environmental branding will be very important in getting the message out to people.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to interact with, listen to and get practical brand ideas directly from the world’s most influential brand gurus and practitioners who have created and advised the world’s most powerful brands.

This inspirational and transformative experience will encourage debate, foster reflection and ultimately engineer change in the way companies in Asia manage their brands and business.


Conference Format

The conference format adopts a series of intellectually stimulating speeches, panel discussions, extended Q&A sessions and knowledge-sharing opportunities held over two invigorating days.

Designed to add value beyond the traditional forum environment, there will also be industry breakout sessions where you can participate in closed-door dialogues where specific industry knowledge can be freely shared.

You will also have ample opportunities to network and exchange ideas at the highest level with approximately 1000 business leaders from over 20 countries in Asia and around the world, as well as enjoy unprecedented Asia-wide media profiling.

If there's one event a year that you can't afford to miss, it's the Global Brand Forum - the world's leading event on Brands, Business and Leadership.

1. Why wasn't I born rich?

Would love to attend this...

A side note - as a marketing person, wondered at the reasoning behind the listing of roles Al has after his name. Thought first that maybe they were in order of importance to him - but that doesn't work given the Oscar listed next to environmentalist. Just thought that interesting - would have liked to have been in that meeting where they were hashing that out. :)
