Don't Stop 08 – Business Conference in Copenhagen, November 19, 2008: Happy Capitalism

 

Epilogue

Dear participant,

We hope you enjoyed the conference and felt inspired by the various perspectives presented for building viable societies and businesses. Currently, we are in the middle of a financially difficult period, but that does not take away our ability to become 'happy capitalists'. The ideal stretches widely across different fields of understanding and is still reachable within areas of e.g. economic, psychologic and sociologic character.

Happy Capitalism demands new ideas, new mindsets and a determined will to change.

Happy Capitalism?

To paraphrase Winston Churchill: “The battle of the Financial Industry is over - the Battle of Capitalism is about to begin”.

The financial crisis and the global recession challenge the capitalist system as we have known it. Every company and executive - no matter who you are - have to rethink why and how you run your company - otherwise, others will do it for you.

This conference is designed to give you inspiration and tools for creating Happy Capitalism through presentations from leading international capacities and 4 result-oriented and visionary Future Labs. Don’t Stop thinking. Think new.
