The Summit on the Global Agenda is a gathering of the Members of the Forum’s Network of Global Agenda Councils, made up of thought leaders from academia, business, government and society. Over three days, the Council members will be taking place in the world's biggest brainstorm. They will engage in interactive workshops and sessions to set priorities for the most compelling ideas to improve the state of the world and identify relevant risks and innovative responses to address the world’s challenges.
