Since 1986, the Crans Montana Forum, as a world leading International Institution
dedicated to Public-Private Cooperation, the WDA-World Diplomatic Academy
and LE CERCLE have become the most exclusive and elegant meeting place
for high level decision makers from Governments and Business.
Their long lasting loyalty is based on the strictly institutional dimension
of the Forum, the proposed topics which are intended to be operational
and the seriousness born from a rejection of any organized publicity.
