Conference Updates: Inclusion, Inc. and Turkey’s Turn

If you missed them, or even if you didn’t, you might be interested in updates on two past Fletcher conferences, both organized by the Institute for Business in the Global Context (IBGC).

The first — Inclusion, Inc. — took place this past April.  The Inclusion, Inc. team recently told the community:

Thank you for making Inclusion, Inc. a success!  The Forum brought together a diverse group of speakers and attendees, making for an exciting and engaging two days of discussion on sustainable and inclusive business activities (SIBA) in practice.

The second took place in April 2014.  “Turkey’s Turn” has a newly completed report, and here’s the update IBGC shared with us last month:

It’s been over a year since we brought together global thought leaders, decision makers, and those shaping business and investment, politics, and policy in Turkey for a deep discussion around geopolitics, energy, business, and more, all seeking to answer the central question: Is it “Turkey’s Turn?”

Today, Turkey remains at a critical nexus of international news and business.  As the country continues to expand its dealings with Europe, it also seeks to solidify its position in the tempestuous Middle East.  At the Institute for Business in the Global Context, we continue to be a part of these conversations long after the curtain closed on what was a truly remarkable two days of discussion at our “Turkey’s Turn?” Conference.

Building off the conference, this report dives into the many questions confronting Turkey today.  From Turkey’s government at home, to threats on its borders, to the country’s evolving role in international business, we dig deeper into the ideas and insights that emerged over the two-day event and tie them to the ongoing conversation around Turkey and its place in the world.

Be sure to check out more exclusive content from the conference, including photos and video interviews with some of our speakers.
