First Annual Forum For Developing New Business Models And Job Creation created by Richard Attias
The New York Forum (www.ny-forum.com), to be held on June 22 and 23 in New York City, today announced a distinguished group of global business leaders and experts as its Advisory Board. The group includes Nobel Prize winning economist and Director of The Center for Capitalism and Society, Edmund Phelps, Partnership for New York City CEO Kathy Wylde, Pacific Capital Founder and Chairman Gary Winnick and Scott-Heekin-Canedy, President and General Manager, The New York Times.
The first annual New York Forum will bring together hundreds of international business leaders, entrepreneurs, sovereign fund managers, regulatory officials and academics for a series of results-oriented discussions, debates and dialogues, with a mission that is both bold and urgent: to reinvent business models, to stimulate job creation and restore faith in the international economy.
“I am very pleased and proud by the caliber of international and New York City leaders that are serving on our Advisory Board,” said Attias. “At this time, there is no place with greater creative potential to turn adversity into prosperity than New York City, and the advisory board is a great reflection of that potential.”
“There are signs that the economy has lost its dynamism, its urge to innovate, or its ability to innovate,” said Edmund Phelps. “We have a special responsibility to call for action. The New York Forum is an opportunity for the private sector to exert leadership."

Included among the topics to be addressed in the plenary session are the future of the global economy, a reinvention of the New York economy, and rebuilding confidence and credibility in the business world.
In a post-crisis world, The New York Forum recognizes the necessity to bring key leaders together in a collaborative environment to brainstorm viable solutions and identify opportunities to effect change across disciplines. A delegation from The Forum will present their findings to representatives of the G20, who are meeting the following week in Toronto.
