Ladies and Gentlemen,
The dynamic and enterprising city of Gdynia is inviting you to the 9th
Economic Forum on 9 October 2009.
Although a one-day event, the Forum has an interesting agenda and will
certainly be an excellent opportunity to meet the most active business
representatives who are aware of the benefits of establishing new
contacts and sharing experience, opinions and, above all, the latest
information stimulating the development of your businesses.
The mottos of this Forum are: "New Challenges in the World Economy in
the Time of Crisis in Relation to Maritime Economy", "Tourism without
Borders - New Challenges" and "Intelligent Spaces in the Development of
Contemporary Cities". You must admit - they are important, relevant and
interesting.
I hope the 9th Forum fulfils your expectations, and the accidental
concentration of 9s - together with the date of our meeting - turns out
to be a lucky coincidence.
Mayor of Gdynia
Wojciech Szczurek, PhD
