Ur inbjudan:

"The conference will not only provide an opportunity for International city leaders and experts to look at how different cultures can live together but how mixing can be turned to economic, social and cultural advantage. New thinking is needed on how diverse communities can co-operate in productive harmony instead of leading parallel or antagonistic lives.

The three day programme, mainly taking place at St George's Hall, will feature political leaders, policy makers and practitioners from major cities, including London, Madrid, Berlin, Lyon, Stuttgart, Rotterdam, Turin, Naples, Istanbul, Bremen, Marseilles, Gdansk, Leicester, Manchester and Liverpool who will be sharing their experiences and provide real examples of how being intercultural can bring social, cultural and economic advantages.

Experts and speakers from across Europe as well as the US, Canada and Australia include globalisation guru Saskia Sassen, New York Times writer Gregg Pascal Zachary, head of CEOs for Cities (a network for urban leadership based in Chicago) Carol Coletta, world renowned economic geographer Ash Amin, the world authority on cultural diversity and city planning Leonie Sandercock, Lord Bhikhu Parekh, who says it is time to rethink multiculturalism, Keith Khan who leads the campaign to make the London 2012 Olympics an unprecedented intercultural festival, and many more."
