What is the OECD Forum?
OECD Forum: The "must-go" event on today's international agenda
The OECD Forum is a "multi-stakeholder summit" which brings together business and labour leaders, civil society personalities, government ministers and leaders of international organisations to discuss the hottest issues on the international agenda. It takes place in conjunction with the annual OECD ministerial summit.
Forum speakers are usually at the level of Minister or CEO. Forum 2007 attracted approximately 1600 participants from 100 countries, including 150 journalists.
Doris Leuthard, Switzerland's Federal Councillor for Economic Affairs, reported to the OECD ministerial summit on the Forum 2008 discussions.
