About the CxO Forum
STRATEGIC CXO FORUM 2005
6 September 2005 at Suntec City Convention Centre, Singapore
Sponsored by

What is this forum about?
The Strategic CXO Forum 2005 is all about challenging the status quo and developing the mental agility of business executives, the goal being to facilitate the development of business strategies that effectively meet the needs of a rapidly and ever-changing business landscape.
Held in conjunction with SCMLogistics World 2005, this strategic forum will bring together C-level executives from across the region in an interactive format to discuss and debate the challenges and opportunities a changing business environment creates. What is the future likely to hold, and how can thinking shift to accommodate new business paradigms?
Informal (no “Death-by-Powerpoint” presentations), intimate (seats are limited to 60 people) and interactive (discussion, not dissertation), this Strategic CXO Forum will look to leverage the knowledge from across industries and blend the expertise of both global and Asian thought leaders. Discussions will delve into the impacts of emerging markets, innovation and new business and supply chain models that must be considered by CxOs as part of any strategic planning process.
Why should you attend?
Business breakthroughs don’t just happen by accident. They come from the keen insights derived from hearing the latest research, sharing in the experiences and best practices of others, and from learning about changes in the evolving business environment.
