Hussein will be in Finland this wednesday-thursday at the Nordic Business Forum. Also the same day(26th of september) prime minister Medvedev of Russia will be making his official state visit to Finland. Probably nothing too big here but just interesting coincidence.
President Obama will be traveling to Europe for the Nordic Business Forum, which takes place in Helsinki from the 26-27th of September 2018. President Obama will be speaking to one of the largest audiences in the Nordics and round off the two-day conference with the closing conversation.
Aslak de Silva, CEO of Nordic Business Forum: “We are undoubtedly honored to host President Obama – but this moment really belongs to our audience and the Nordic region as a whole. It's unprecedented and is set to be unforgettable.”
Ville Saarikalle, the Head of Speaker Relations at Nordic Business Forum: “President Obama is one of the most remarkable leaders of this era. His life journey is unique: from modest circumstances to the Presidency of the United States of America. It’s truly an honor to have him at Nordic Business Forum this September.”
The 2018 edition of Nordic Business Forum will focus on Strategy, Peak Performance, and Artificial Intelligence. Previously announced speakers include the Whole Foods Market founder and CEO John Mackey, Olympic gold medalist Lindsey Vonn, Strategos founder Gary Hamel, social psychologist Amy Cuddy, media theorist Don Tapscott, MIT Initiative on the Digital Economy co-director Andrew McAfee, and Quiet Revolution co-founder Susan Cain.
