France

September has seen the first Global Forum which took place both in London and Paris. We had an attendance of about 40 people, mostly coming from France and Germany. The event was sponsored by Heidrick & Struggle and had a great happy ending since we had a wine tasting mastered by Jean-Michel Deluc, ex-sommelier of the Ritz and current sommelier of Chateau-on-Line. The coming events include: First, our participation of the American presidential elections on Wednesday, Oct. 25 at France-Amériques; second, the formation of an inter-business school e-club focusing on the new economy; third, our annual Christmas cocktail on Thursday, Dec. 14; last but not least, most probably in January or February, a breakfast-conference with the venue of Bruno BIC, CEO of Bic. Hope it will give the opportunity to all of us to meet and keep on building a greater future for the Kellogg Club of France.
