Apr 05, 2012 News

Heads of State and hundreds of business leaders will meet at the first CEO Summit of the Americas from April 13, in Cartagena, Colombia to discuss globalization, infrastructure, human capital and other key economic issues. The scope and level of participation makes it an unprecedented opportunity for a public-private exchange.
Ten heads of state have confirmed their attendance to the conference, which will be held during the Summit of the Americas. Joining them will be more than 500 business leaders and executives from 22 countries in the Western Hemisphere.
The meeting is being convened by the government of Colombia and the country’s private sector. The Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) is providing technical support.
The event will be opened by Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos and IDB President Luis Alberto Moreno.
Participants will focus on five areas, with an eye to identifying opportunities where the public and private sectors can work together to encourage investment, combat poverty, and raise living standards for the citizens of the Americas.
The panel will open with a presentation by Mexican President Felipe Calderón.
In addition, the event will include a conversation among heads of state. U.S. President Barack Obama, Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff and Colombian President Santos are expected to participate.
Media access to the event will be restricted due to space limitations. Journalists accredited with the Summit of the Americas will be able to use a press room in the Hilton Hotel, the venue of the CEO Summit of the Americas.
