Ellana Lee, Group SVP, GM APAC, & Global Head of Productions at CNN, said: “We’re living in a time of profound economic, social and cultural transformation, supercharged by a technological revolution, the likes of which we have not seen in decades, perhaps even centuries. Asia’s role in that change is increasingly consequential; it’s not only experiencing that change but also driving it. Bringing Global Perspectives to Bangkok presents the chance to dig deep into all of this, right in the heart of this dynamic region. We’re convening an exceptional group of leaders, visionaries and change-makers to explore the forces shaping our world, creating a forum for ideas and dialogue that will help define what comes next.”
