Große Geister

The conference that Caroline Thomson went to, after she had formally left the BBC, was a Google Zeitgeist Partners forum, invitation-only, at the Montelucia Resort and Spa, Scottsdale, Phoenix, Arizona. Spring room rates start at $269, but I doubt Google paid that much. The theme was "The World Around Us". Caroline doesn't appear to have been a speaker; M C Hammer is one other name I've come across as a delegate. Here are highlights of the event.

Clearly, big names in the States. Caroline must have missed out on the Zeitgeist event in Herefordshire, in May 2012, where speakers included Bill Clinton, George Papandreou, Sir Martin Sorrell, Lily Cole, Annie Lennox, Jon Snow, Sir Steve Redgrave, Kirsty Wark, Clare Balding and Paul Mason.
