Beyond 2005 will provide forum for creative thought

Organisers of Beyond 2005 believe the event is poised to become one of the world's leading forums for creative thought.

Organised by the Singapore Government and supported by Saatchi & Saatchi and Ogilvy & Mather, Beyond 2005 features creative heavyweights from across the globe, including Saatchis worldwide creative director Bob Isherwood; acclaimed director of the film Elizabeth, Shekhar Kapur; the founder of punk band Sex Pistols, Malcolm McLaren; and architect Rem Koolhaas, among others. "The speakers are the best in their fields," said Karthik Siva, chairman of Beyond 2005's organising committee. "They are inspiring, profound and have a pulse on the future." The event will target all industries in which creativity features, and will take place on November 15 to 16. With a significant focus on how creativity affects business, the forum will also include interactive discussions involving delegates.
