"The U.S. is so vast and diverse, and business moves so fasts, that were it not for events such as this one, the key underpinning of lasting, rewarding business relationships-face-to-face contact-would slowly fade into the background. Each year we see new faces, engage in new vibrant presentations that bring fresh ideas and new perspectives to business world and applaud remarkable leaders who continue to drive our economic landscape into the future."
