How do you benefit from the St. Gallen Symposium?
The St. Gallen Symposium offers an ideal platform for exchanging ideas about a topic that concerns the entire world. But I would like to emphasise one thing in particular: Without fail, the organisers of this symposium always succeed in leaving one or two lasting impressions.
What motivates you to renew your support for the St. Gallen Symposium every year?
Of all the many events being held, the St. Gallen symposium stands out as a student-organised occasion which is prepared and carried out with great commitment and passion. Their sole goal is to accomplish something great. That deserves to be supported.
Which remarkable people from past St. Gallen Symposia have been particularly inspiring to you in your day-to-day work and why?
It is the wonderfully interesting blend of people at the St. Gallen Symposium which I find so inspiring. From higly gifted students to international politicans, from intellectual professors to hands-on managers, whether during the sessions or sipping a beer in the evening, this "cocktail" of people sparks exciting discussions and brings about new ideas.
