Launching the Sandbox Summer Dialogues
From a recent Sandbox event in Berlin hosted by our Ambassador Rainer Scheerer, also author of the Sandbox podcasts.
As many of you probably have already heard, we have started in addition to our monthly (and often even more frequent!) events in 25 cities across the globe organizing small and intimate dinners / breakfasts / lunches with 5 or 6 Sandboxers and one experienced leader. Whenever we work with senior people, we try to apply the same principles we also do for our own community: we carefully select people that truly inspire us, we love diversity and try to bring them from as many backgrounds as possible and we try to create a setting where people can build real relationships (vs. “networking) and eventually collaborate.
The discussions we had at past events for example when meeting with the Swiss Ambassador to the US, the Cambodian Secretary of State, a cofounder of the Feed Project, or experienced entrepreneurs like Lars Hinrichs (founder of XING), has really brought us to a new level.
In the next few weeks Sandboxers will have the pleasure to meet with Johannes Matyassy, Ambassador of Switzerland and Head of Präsens Schweiz, Hansueli Maerki, currently board member at ABB, SwissRe, former Chairman of IBM EMEA and member of our Advisory Board, Martin Naville, Chairman of the Swiss-American Chamber of Commerce, David Bosshart, CEO of the Gottlieb Duttweiler Institute, Thomas Held, CEO of Avenir Suisse and Nick Beglinger, Co-Founder and CEO of the Foundation For Global Sustainability.
Who else should we invite?
