The International Economic Forum of the Americas 2015 (June 8-11, 2015) was committed to heightening knowledge and awareness of the major issues concerning economic globalization, with a particular emphasis on the relations between the Americas and other continents.
The Conference strived to foster exchanges of information, to promote free discussion on major current economic issues and facilitate meetings between world leaders to encourage international discourse by bringing together Heads of State, the private sector, international organizations and civil society with more than 4,000 attendees around the globe. The 2015 Forum was focussed on Building a Balanced Economy.
