The St. Gallen Symposium promotes cross-generational dialogue on the most pressing issues of our time. Every year, we focus our annual main symposium, our year-round dialogue initiatives and our publications on a core theme. This serves to inspire our cross-generational community of leaders of today and tomorrow to reflect and act upon key questions in five thematic areas, related to business, governance, sustainability, technology, and the social and generational contract.

Briefs and research explore the complexities and opportunities related to our core theme. Our annual publication SYMPACT synthesises the main findings of our debates, and outlines questions in need of further exploration.
