The New York Times Company announces its first International New York
Times conferences in Hong Kong and Singapore in October.
The conferences coincide with the Oct. 15 rebranding of the
International Herald Tribune as the International New York Times and
reflect The Times’s deepening commitment to Asia and global expansion.
As part of the rebrand, the Times Company is integrating International
Herald Tribune conferences into the New York Times brand and adding
International New York Times conferences to the Company’s growing
conference business.
DealBook founder Andrew Ross Sorkin will host dealmakers,
business leaders, investors and policy makers for a day of live
discussions and exclusive engagements to advance key business
opportunities between the American and Chinese markets at the
International New York Times’s DealBook:
Global Outlook conference on Oct. 21 in Hong Kong. Wei
Christianson, chief executive and managing director of Morgan
Stanley in Asia, will be a featured speaker. Additional speakers will be
announced soon.
Op-Ed columnist Thomas L. Friedman will bring together
influential thought leaders and technology executives to make sense of
the world’s new digital infrastructure and what it means for global
businesses at the International New York Times’s “Next
New World” Global Forum on Oct. 25 in Singapore. Meg Whitman,
president and chief executive of Hewlett-Packard, will be a featured
speaker, with more speakers to be announced.
The Hong Kong DealBook conference is an extension of The Times’s
DealBook franchise. The first DealBook conference took place Dec. 2012
at TheTimesCenter in New York. A second annual New York DealBook
conference will be announced in the coming months.
“The centers of economic power are changing,” said New York Times
financial columnist and DealBook founder Andrew Ross Sorkin. “Asia may
have a greater influence over the financial future of the globe over the
next 100 years than anywhere else on the planet. That’s why we chose
Hong Kong to begin this global dialogue with the world’s top thought
leaders.”
The Singapore Global Forum follows the success of the “Next New World”
Global Forum that was hosted by Mr. Friedman in San Francisco this past
June.
“Our world is going through a huge technologically induced inflection
point today,” said New York Times Op-Ed columnist Thomas L. Friedman.
“It is affecting everything -- business, education, societal relations,
politics and geopolitics. Our conference aims to explain this inflection
and identify how companies, countries and individuals can thrive within
it.”
