Globes’ annual Israel Business Conference will start tomorrow (Sunday), with an impressive list of speakers and guests compiling a wide and diverse array of business and political leaders, coming to discuss the future of Israel’s economy. All of Israel’s who’s and who will attend this year, especially in light of the global recession our world is facing. If you’re busy and can’t attend in person, relax – this is 2008 – we have twitter, blogs and broadband internet access.
For the first ‘official’ time, the conference will be socially covered by my colleagues Omer Perchik and Lior Levin (big thanks to Mizbala.com for setting it up). Omer and Lior will update frequently on their twitter, and live-blog from the many panels and sessions during the 2-day conference.
Omer, Lior – waiting to read your thoughts. Good luck !
