Over 800 World Leaders to Discuss Post-Covid Disruptions at the Horasis Extraordinary Meeting 2020

Horasis, the global visions community, has announced their 2020 Horasis Extraordinary Meeting to be held virtually on 1st October 2020. The meeting will gather over 800 selected world leaders from 70 countries, including heads of state, government ministers and captains of business to devise solutions to overcome the profound economic, political, and social disruptions caused by Covid-19.

The world will not go back to a ‘new normal’ using a simplistic resetting of legacy systems
