25th Oxford Analytica International Conference
Wednesday 17th September - Friday 19th September, 2008
Christ Church, Oxford
Each September an opinion-forming elite drawn from the international corporate sector, international financial institutions, governments and multilateral agencies gather in Oxford to participate in Oxford Analytica’s annual International Conference. With many guests from North America and Europe it’s also an tansatlantic networking place for executives and scholars.
The Conference is renowned for providing these international decision makers with the insights needed to guide their organisations through the challenging geopolitical, economic and social developments in the year ahead.
Much of the day is spent in small seminar groups or panel sessions, with each participant having a personalised schedule designed to meet his specific needs. The Conference is residential so offering plenty of opportunity for relationship building and closes with a spectacular banquet at Blenheim Palace. Our most recent guest speakers have been Tony Blair, former Prime Minister of Great Britain and Northern Ireland who gave the Blenheim Address shortly after leaving office last year and Ambassador John Negroponte, the then US Director of National Intelligence in 2006. Participants will be given information on this year’s guest speaker upon registration.
Information on the issues under discussion at our 14 seminars is now available as is initial information on the panel discussions.
