Each Forum is a meeting of the international elite in that particular field. An Agenda of topical issues, developed each year by a group of peers, forms the basis for the discussion and debate. The Chatham House Rule governs all discussion, ensuring privacy and confidentiality.
Intellectually stimulating and challenging, Cambridge Forums are held at venues located close to international airports but in relaxed, non-urban settings that are conducive to reflective thinking. Away from the workaday world, participants are able to challenge each other's thinking with uncommon depth, candour and experienced-based input.
While the debate in a Forum is often intense, there is time for talk and building of relationships during the receptions and meals. Despite the comfortable settings, a Cambridge Forum is not a “holiday” type of program, and participants are not encouraged to bring spouses or significant others. There generally are, however, marvelous facilities should a participant wish to arrive early or stay on after the program concludes. |
