(Vocus/PRWEB ) June 18, 2010 -- The New York Forum, to be held on June 22 and 23 in New York City, today announced that Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg will deliver opening remarks at this year’s conference, in the morning of Wednesday, June 23rd. Mayor Bloomberg joins Rupert Murdoch, CEO, News Corporation; James Tisch, CEO, Loews Corporation; Andrew Ross Sorkin, the New York Times; Arthur Sulzberger Jr., Chairman and Publisher, The New York Times Company; Vikram Pandit, CEO, Citigroup; Robert Wolf, CEO, UBS Americas; Cathie Black, President, Hearst Magazines; Christine Lagarde, French Minister of Economic Affairs, Industry and Employment; and many more for this first-of-its-kind gathering aimed at addressing the future of the global economy, including focusing on strategies to spur job creation and develop new business models.

 

“We are pleased to announce Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s participation in the first annual New York Forum. New York is the economic capital of the world and there is no other more fitting than Mayor Bloomberg to keynote this important gathering of global leaders,” said Richard Attias, the founder of the New York Forum.

The first annual New York Forum will bring together hundreds of international business leaders, entrepreneurs, sovereign fund managers, regulatory officials and academics for a series of results-oriented discussions, debates and dialogues, with a mission that is both bold and urgent: to reinvent business models, to stimulate job creation and restore faith in the international economy. At The New York Forum, high-profile CEOs, investors, and policy makers will lead plenary sessions, and participants will participate in smaller targeted task forces, led by the Boston Consulting Group. In a post-crisis world, The New York Forum recognizes the necessity to bring key leaders together in a collaborative environment to brainstorm viable solutions and identify opportunities to effect change across disciplines.

Strategic partners of The New York Forum include The New York Times, The Partnership for New York City and The Boston Consulting Group. Attali and Associates, under the direction of Jacques Attali, French economist, founding president of EBRD and President of Planet Finance, is a programming partner. The Center on Capitalism and Society is partnering on parts of the program content.
