Cambridge forums are tailored to the unique needs of upper echelon participants. The sessions do not include PowerPoint presentations or designated speakers. They are comprised of candid, roundtable discussions in which everyone is expected to actively participate, whereas conferences feature speakers who present to a passive audience who listens but does not contribute.
Each forum is a gathering of the elite in a particular field, either domestically or internationally, depending on the topic. Those who receive an invitation are personally selected by a Steering Committee of their peers, based on their expertise, whereas a conference is open to anyone who signs up and pays.
A Cambridge forum has a very finite number of places available. Typically, we limit participation in our forums to a maximum of 48 people, whereas a conference can have thousands of attendees.
-
Everyone who receives an invitation has been identified by the Steering Committee. To have your name submitted to the Committee for future consideration, contact the Forum Director indicated on the Forum Overview Page in your area of interest. The Forum Director will follow up with further information.
