The World In 2013 Gala Dinner: Singapore

November 27th 2012
  • The Fullerton Hotel Singapore

Join senior executives from business, government and academia for a thought-provoking evening of intelligent entertainment from The Economist.

What does 2013 have in store for the world? Over the past three successive years in Hong Kong, The World In Gala Dinners took a look at the defining issues for the year ahead. The exclusive gala evening attracted over 200+ senior Economist readers from business, government, academia, and the arts to gather for a thought-provoking evening of intelligent entertainment. 

This November The Economist is delighted to be bringing The World in 2013 Gala Dinner to Singapore on November 27th.

This exclusive gala evening, inspired by the annual The World in publication, will feature Daniel Franklin, Executive Editor of The Economist and Editor of The World in… and Kevin Kallaugher, otherwise known as Kal, The Economist's revered political cartoonist. Daniel and Kal will be joined by a host of invited luminaries to share their bold, candid, sometimes shocking - and always entertaining - predictions for the year ahead.

The World in 2013 Gala Dinner promises to be an unforgettable evening that will change the way you and your guests think about key events for the world in the year ahead.
