An international consumer forum for complex times
The challenges faced in recent years have introduced added complexity trials to an already intricate consumption market.
The consequences of the coronavirus epidemic, the disruption of global value chains, the return of stubborn, high inflation, the war on Ukraine, and the fast and so far uncontrolled advancements of Artificial Intelligence, are all critical new factors that must be understood and addressed by a consumer organisation like ours. This complex scenario sets the framework and background for discussions at the Forum this year.
We have an impressive line-up of speakers, including Alec Ross, a New York Times best-selling author and Senior Advisor for Innovation to the Secretary of State during the Obama Administration. We are also honoured to have the distinguished presence of Roberto Gualtieri, Metropolitan Mayor of Rome. Among many others, another notable mention is Carlo Ratti, an Italian architect, engineer, inventor, professor at MIT, and activist. These, along with many other outstanding speakers, are not to be missed!
Euroconsumers 2023 International Forum will take place in one of the richest historical venues of humanity, the Città della Parola or City of the World that is Rome. In the inspiring setting of the Palazzo Valentini (Aula Consiliare “Giorgio Fregosi” – Via IV Novembre 119/a – 000187 ROMA) our keynote speakers and corporate partners will shed light on the most relevant topics in technology, politics, economics, and social-urban design. All while reflecting on the same question: What should “Empower people, improve the market” entail? We will take this inspiration and insight to help us refine our strategies and forge a better way to empower people fulfilling our ever-evolving and challenging mission.
A manifesto for change
As we encounter new societal and economic shifts, we want to reaffirm our belief that consumers – who are first and foremost citizens – must be at the centre of any market. Hence, we will be unveiling the Euroconsumers Manifesto, which presents a vision for a new relationship between people and the market and sets out practical actions in three core impact areas: digitalisation, sustainability and cost of living. The Manifesto summarises our current vision of why we need to Empower Consumers, Improve the Market and ten principles that will inspire our day-to-day efforts in the months and years ahead to achieve this.
We will also celebrate the 50th anniversary of Altroconsumo, our Italian member organisation, as they embark on their journey towards even greater achievements.
