Welcome from the Dean

Thomas S. Robertson
Dean
Reliance Professor of Management and Private Enterprise
Professor of Marketing
The Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania

On behalf of the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, I am pleased to invite you to join the School in Panama on March 13-14, 2014, for the 45th Wharton Global Forum.

Inspired by the Panama Canal’s upcoming 100th anniversary, and given the interrelated nature of today’s business models, the Forum’s Organizing Committee is collaborating with Wharton Lifelong Learning to create a rich program of keynotes, panels and master classes exploring the theme “Connectivity.” Attendees will discuss topics relating to Panama, Latin America and the broader business community, while examining strategies for innovation, better business practices and individual development.

The Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania maintains a proud legacy as a leader in global business education — providing rich academic resources to our students, and offering industry leaders diverse opportunities to learn, share knowledge and build networks. For two decades, Wharton has connected faculty, alumni and members of the international business community through its renowned Global Forums. I am honored to invite you to join us for what will be an exceptional event.

With best wishes, 

Thomas S. Robertson
