Zeitgeist Europe 2011
Earlier this week, over 400 of the leading decision-makers, influencers and thinkers - representing 29 countries and 360 companies - came together for the sixth annual European Zeitgeist.
The two-day event focused on several topics driven by the issues and trends shaping the future. The event discussed themes such as the future of the EU, the ever more interactive nature of entertainment, managing extremism, the impact and importance of youths in society, and ways to be truly innovative.
Zeitgeist sessions featured a wide range of inspiring and accomplished speakers including George Osborne, the UK’s Chancellor of the Exchequer; Professor Joseph Stiglitz, Nobel laureate; Jørgen Vig Knudstorp, CEO and president of Lego Group; Maurice Lévy, chairman and CEO of Publicis; Guy Laliberté, founder of Cirque du Soleil and One Drop, and Professor Stephen Hawking.
