What happened in 2007

Under the title, Managing a Changing Planet, more than 1500 IE alumni, came from more than 50 countries to gather at the IE Annual Alumni Conference. This conference took place on 16 November 2007 at IFEMA, Madrid. At the event, a very varied programme of conferences was presented, together with two roundtables in which the speakers considered essential subjects within this field of thought and debate. These included the topics: the challenges facing energy regarding respect for the environment and natural resources: in search of a sustainable balance; environmental challenges and future alternatives; demographic globalisation; business opportunities arising from the population change; forms of business in a new world order and the importance of knowing how to deal with new markets and their respective cultures from a national and global point of view.
