About the Forum
The IEDC Annual Presidents' Forum provides opportunity for the international participants to learn about many aspects of leadership challenges and the opportunities that are generated by the corona crisis. The foremost global management thinkers and gurus will share their latest insights from the economic, social and political aspect.
IEDC-Bled School of Management is celebrating its 35th Anniversary this year and we are proud that since its establishment in 1986, more than 94.000 managers from 100 countries have participated in our programs.
The philosophy and vision of IEDC is built on three pillars: Sustainable Development, Ethics and Arts& Leadership and our main celebration - the Annual Presidents' Forum - under the patronage of Mr. Borut Pahor, President of the Republic of Slovenia, will be dedicated to these ideas.
The first Part, entitled »New Leadership for Sustainable Future» in IEDC will be followed by a virtual part entitled »Leadership and Capitalism: New Perspectives For a Sustainable Future« organized in cooperation with IAM Global Forum.
