Author Joshua Cooper Ramo to Deliver Keynote at ACQUIRE 2016
(VIENNA, VA, April 7, 2016) - 1105 Media, Inc. is excited to announce that Joshua Cooper Ramo, author of the international bestseller The Age of the Unthinkable and the new book The Seventh Sense: Power, Fortune and Survival in the Age of Networks, will deliver the keynote address at the ACQUIRE Conference & Expo on June 8, 2016 at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center in Washington, DC.
A Mandarin speaker who divides his time between Beijing and New York, Ramo has spent over a decade witnessing, firsthand, the remarkable rise of a superpower. He understands China in all of its dynamism and complexity. His papers on China's development, including "The Beijing Consensus" and "Brand China," have been widely distributed in China and abroad. The World Economic Forum called him "one of China’s leading foreign-born scholars."
Ramo was the youngest Foreign Editor in TIME magazine's history. In 2012, Fortune published "Globalism Goes Backward," Ramo's article on the need for companies and countries to adapt to the rise of the "inside economy."
"Keynote Joshua Cooper Ramo will bring attendees on a journey of powerful ideas as he illuminates our changing world, "said Carmel McDonagh, Chief Marketing Officer, 1105 PSMG. "The ACQUIRE show team is committed to providing a way for our local audience to hear from a variety of thought-provoking speakers, and we believe that THE SEVENTH SENSE presentation will deliver on this promise."
