History The first State of the World Forum was held in San Francisco in October 1995. Convened by Mikhail Gorbachev and his fellow Co-Chairs, more than 600 innovative leaders from 50 countries came together. Since then, over 4,000 people from nearly 100 countries have gathered for annual and regional forums in San Francisco (where the Forum holds its annual conference), Moscow, Washington, DC, New Delhi, Islamabad, Guanajuato (Mexico), Brussels, Belfast and Monterrey (Mexico). The fourth annual State of the World Forum took place on October 27 - November 1, 1998 in San Francisco. Over 700 leaders from over 100 nations and tribes gathered to discuss issues ranging from preventing deadly conflict and abolishing nuclear weapons; sustained peak performance; the current instability in the global financial markets; meeting the irreducible needs of children; creating a world safe for differences; investing in women; to the greening of capital. The 1999 State of the World Forum was held at the Fairmont Hotel, San Francisco, California, on October 1 - 6, 1999. The Forum gathered over 800 luminaries, leaders and futurists from around the world to develop and examine systemic solutions that impact business, politics and human development into the next millennium. The 1999 Forum was designed for creating partnerships and envisioning a sustainable and compassionate civilization. It featured more than 100 of the world's most highly regarded speakers and innovators, and included over 50 breakout sessions exploring key trends for the future, models of innovation and tools for leadership. |
