Bennett Jones Hosts 15th Annual Lake Louise World Cup Business Forum
The 2017 Bennett Jones Lake Louise World Cup Business Forum takes place November 24 at the Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise. In its 15th year, this exclusive event brings together thought leaders to engage in discussions on current issues, while supporting some of the world’s greatest athletes in the first World Cup Downhill of the ski season and the only World Cup ski race outside of Europe to join the ranks of the famous Club 5 Ski Classics.
Focused on the theme of Navigating Disruption, this year’s program features leading experts on the economy, energy, technology and government to discuss challenges and opportunities in an era of rapid change.
Today's rapid pace of change is breathtaking with many disruptive elements that are profoundly unsettling for individuals and businesses," says Perry Spitznagel, Vice-Chairman and Managing Partner of Bennett Jones' Calgary office. “Many of the changes we are facing are structural and impact entire industries and economies. Understanding and navigating through these changes is the test of our times.”
