Ostracism means war
dialogue means peace

1986 – 2026

For four decades, the CMF Crans Montana Forum has established itself as one of the world’s most respected platforms for dialogue, bringing together Heads of State and Government, ministers, international institutions and business decision-makers from around the world.

Building on an unparalleled international network and a unique credibility, the Forum extends its mission beyond dialogue to become a trusted strategic partner for governments, institutions and businesses facing the challenges of a too rapidly changing world.

More than ever, the Forum helps decision-makers anticipate change, identify opportunities, build high-value partnerships and transform strategic ambitions into concrete achievements.

As an accelerator of sustainable development, the Forum keeps connecting public leadership with the private sector in the service of stability, prosperity and lasting global progress.
