The future
Where we see the forum's future
The 2012 Pacific Rim Forum, to be held in Istanbul from 22-24 April, is consciously designed to become the seminal annual energy event with a "Looking Eastwards" focus. Our plan is to conduct the Forum every 12 months around the same dates in order to achieve this in the most effective way.
Istanbul is the ideal place to conduct such an event as Turkey, Russia and Qatar make up one of the emerging energy corridors to the East. Turkey, in particular, is rapidly playing a major strategic role in the Middle East and in the rapidly changing energy landscape.
Our core focus for 2012 and for future Forums will simply be on "What's different? What’s changing? What are the best companies in the world currently doing about it?"
"The Pacific Rim Forum is by far the key meeting for understanding the dynamics of the Asia Pacific region in order for us to plan the future growth of our businesses in this exciting area. Thought provoking topics, memorable speakers and a high quality audience make for an unbeatable combination."
