GDL Cooperation with the Bled Strategic Forum 2016: "Saveguarding the Future"

5 to 6 September 2016, Bled, Slovenia

The Bled Strategic Forum (BSF) is a leading conference in Central and South East Europe. The annual BSF provides a needed high-level platform for discussion of pressing regional and global issues. Attracting over 500 participants, including heads of state and government, ministers, diplomats, representatives of thebusiness sphere, scholars and the media from the entire world, the forum also offers a unique opportunity for bilateral and multilateral meetings with the foremost regional and global stakeholders and a possibility for extensive networking between political and business leaders of today.

The Night Owl Session "Ordinary radical(s): In Search of a Meaningful Response" of the BSF 2016 was held in cooperation with the Global Diplomacy Lab. Several GDL members participated in that Session.
