Le Figaro. Why start a new international conference?

Richard Attias. – It lacked an event exclusively dedicated to economic issues. It is a central issue both for policymakers and for the general public who suffers face opacity and inconsistency of financial news. In 18 months, nearly 60% of business leaders have changed. A new generation arrives at the controls ready to transform existing business models. He needs a place for dialogue which aims to be pragmatic, that is the vocation of the New York Forum.

How does the New York Forum, from Davos?

I worked 13 years in the organization of Davos remains a very nice event overall, covering dozens of topics with thousands of participants.The New York Forum, it will be "100% business" and located in the heart of New York, which embodies the essence of the vitality and entrepreneurship.

How did you design the event?

It is above all, a platform dedicated to collaborations and partnerships. I work for several states with SWFs are very demanding lighting and development relationship with the business. As for regulators, they are increasingly present. These are all players that we will meet, by invitation, without exceeding the 500 participants, half of which will end U.S. market. My experience leads me to prefer this size to remain productive and systematically guide the discussions towards future action. The forum will take place on 22, 23, June 24Why not lead to a series of proposals which would be submitted 48 hours later, the G20 Toronto? We thus completing the bridge creating with policymakers.

We must respond in order to reconstruct the conditions of the trust.
