The Institute of Directors has announced details of this year's Guernsey Convention in October, which will consider the bailiwick's place in the world.
Simon Anholt, Honorary Professor of Political Science at the University of East Anglia, will be the keynote speaker. Simon has worked with presidents, prime ministers and governments for more than 20 years on strategies to help them engage more productively with the international community. He indexes and ranks countries according to their contribution to humanity and the planet.
Delegates will also hear from Moving Brands' Chief Commercial Officer Hanna Laikko, who will report on the agency's findings on Guernsey’s position and the opportunities this presents.
The moderator for the convention will once again be former ITN newsreader Alastair Stewart, and there will be an invited panel including:
• Julia Hands, founder, Hand Picked Hotels
• Andreas Tautscher, CEO, Deutsche Bank
• Richard Holmes, Group Brand Director, Specsavers
• Charles Parkinson, Economic Development Committee President, States of Guernsey
