Swiss dialogue Arena Lausanne21 March 2012



The First Swiss Dialogue Arena Lausanne with the theme "Ready for tomorrow today"

 

Given the huge success of the Swiss Dialogue Arena in Zurich, we are delighted to be able to invite you to Lausanne for the first time. We have adopted the same format with various arenas, keynote speakers, a piazza and more, and look forward to now offering this event exclusively in Lausanne as well.

Carsten Schloter will open the First Swiss Dialogue Arena Lausanne, with a presentation on the future of ICT. You will then have the opportunity to choose from various arenas, which will of course be held in French, visit the Swisscom and partner exhibition stands, or even build up your contacts by networking.

I look forward to welcoming you to Lausanne on March 21.
