Proposed Sessions

A wise man once said: "The World is Flat" - A session presented by Oleg Kurnosov & Chris Schultz detailing the six year development of their global partnership. Discussion of The World Is Flat by Thomas Friedman. "What Friedman means by "flat" is "connected": the lowering of trade and political barriers and the exponential technical advances of the digital revolution that have made it possible to do business, or almost anything else, instantaneously with billions of other people across the planet."
