About the Oxford Summit of Leaders:

'The event was truly international and covered a wide range of interest and sectors. It is important to challenge conventional wisdom on education at all levels in the 21st century and most importantly to envisage new solutions. The Oxford Summit leaders give the opportunity to do just that.'

Paul Briggs

Thames Valley Chamber of Commerce Group, CEO, UK

'We found this to be a valuable forum to make contacts with people from 23 other countries, decision makers who want to conduct business within the UK. In this time of globalisation we need forums such as these to facilitate dialogue and opportunity. The presence of interpreters was so important in removing the language barriers. Well done EBA.'
