Each year, the “Organisationsforum Wirtschaftskongress (OfW e.V.)” — a non-profit student organization — welcomes 300 professionals and 300 of the top international students to Cologne, Germany, to discuss important topics in today’s economy and society. This event is the World Business Dialogue and on March 17th and 18th, 2010, we will hold our 13th Dialogue. The convention’s goal is to improve international relations by providing a platform for dialogue and discussion between students and leaders of all branches of society. Past leaders have included Bill Gates, Michael Bloomberg and Josef Ackermann, CEO of Deutsche Bank. Like no other business convention can, the World Business Dialogue provides a platform for creative ideas and solutions that will shape tomorrow’s industries. Its unique strength is derived from the participants, who help shape the direction of the dialogue.

This year, we focus our attention on the values of a changing global economy through the topic “Crisis Demands – A Call for True Sustainability”. We will be concentrating on the events that triggered the current economic crisis and the fundamental changes that have resulted. How should corporations be reacting to these issues? Can businesses adapt incrementally or will they need to dramatically alter their strategies? Are companies truly seeking sustainable changes or will they revert back to old habits once the crisis is over?

If you are a student who is interested in participating in the 13th World Business Dialogue, we encourage you to look at our website (www.world-business-dialogue.com). Here you will be able to find more information about the event and begin the application process.

For more information, please visit www.world-business-dialogue.com or join our Facebook Fan Page “World Business Dialogue”.

We are looking for extraordinary students to attend the 13th World Business Dialogue and would like to ask for your help. Please forward this email onto any students or organizations you believe would be interested in attending the convention.

“Be part of us – Be part of the 13th World Business Dialogue”
