The Bentley Leadership Forum

The Bentley Leadership Forum, in cooperation with TIME magazine, will bring together leaders from the worlds of technology, arts and entertainment, and philanthropy to discuss how social responsibility can be profitable in today's business world.



About the Conference
The inaugural Bentley Leadership Forum will spotlight critical issues in business ethics, leadership and social responsibility across a variety of industries. The keynote speakers and an impressive array of panelists will address topics ranging from investing in the communities in which they do business, to fair trade and corporate governance, to environmental issues and long-term strategic collaborations. The first Bentley Leadership Forum will bring together leaders from the worlds of business, technology, arts and entertainment, and philanthropy to explore how social responsibility can be profitable in today’s business environment.


The panel sessions will be moderated by writers and editors from TIME Magazine and Bentley faculty who will provide insight into the complex, interrelated challenges that 21st century businesses face in their relationships with governments, global workforces, the environment and local communities.


During the lunch program, Bentley will honor the Tomorrow25, outstanding high school juniors who have been chosen through an international competition as our next generation of leaders. The Tomorrow25 demonstrate initiative, citizenship, intelligence, technological savvy, cultural awareness, social responsibility, a passion for the real world of people and organizations, and a commitment to making positive things happen in their communities or schools.


The event was held on the Bentley campus in Waltham, Massachusetts on Tuesday May 10, 2005.
