With high-quality guest speakers, the objective of these debates is to create a global network in which journalists, writers, philosophers, business executives, diplomats and politicians can debate matters of current concern with their international counterparts, while at the same time creating an opportunity for dialogue on a wide range of topics that will both enrich and inform.

 

The KitSon successfully launched its first debate in Geneva in January 2009 and launched its 'one shots' in The Kingdom of Bahrain in February 2009 and at the World Investment Conference in La Baule in June 2009.
