Virtual events at the Global Dialogue Center
The Global Dialogue Center is a virtual gathering place for people throughout the world with a focus on leadership, professional and personal development. We have a strong belief that people who are thinking, questioning, exploring new ideas and spending meaningful time together make more effective leaders in organizations, businesses, governments and in other places of influence throughout the world. In turn, they can be powerful catalysts for creating a better world than we know today.
For this reason, we are redefining what a “virtual event” is around the world. We’ve learned from all of you that people want to think, question, learn, explore ideas, but how you want to participate takes many forms ---- including written interviews, audio programs, podcasts, visual exhibits, online seminars, blogs, forums and dialogues, as well as other emerging innovations for conversation and exchange of ideas. Our virtual events programs continue to be a work-in-progress with new offerings under development ---- we look forward to continuing to bring people together with inspiring thought-leaders in many ways.
We welcome your ideas and suggestions.
