Dawn of the Year 2000...
at the Pyramids of Egypt
The Mind's Embrace of Time
The Millennium Symposium on Great
Challenges of Our Time
January 1 - 3, 2000
At the Historic Mena House at the foot of the Great Pyramids
of Giza, Egypt
The Millennium Symposium will be the first public forum to share and discuss the results of an unprecedented four-year global study of 550 futurists, scholars, business planners, policy advisors, and decision-makers in over 50 countries.
15 Global Challenges - questions for our time - have been identified and assessed. Actions have been suggested for each and a range of views have been documented, and you are invited to engage your mind at this time to further the conversation and strategies.
The Symposium is organized into five sessions. Each session will address three challenges. Each session is structured so that the participant will receive a formal briefing on the research results, prior to the Millennium Speaker, and have the opportunity to explore the implications for Egypt and the Middle East.

The Millenium Symposium is sponsored by UNESCO headquarters and produced by the Millenium Project of the American Council for the United Nations University in cooperation with the Office of UN Resident Coordinator in Egypt, The Smithsonian Institution, Cairo University, World Future Society, The Futures Group International, the Millennium Society, and UNESCO Regional Office. The Millenium Project is funded by the Alan F. Kay and Hazel Henderson Foundation for Social Innovation , Deloitte & Touche, General Motors, The Foundation For the Future, United Nations University, and the U.S. Army Environmental Policy Institute.
The land of the Pyramids, cross-roads of three continents
and cradle of civilization, engenders universal inquiry into the meaning
and direction of civilization by those who have walked its desert for six
millennia. It is hard to imagine a more profound experience than the platform
of thepyramids at the dawn of the year 2000 to evoke or, perhaps, reinvent
insights to improve the human condition.
The Registration Fee is US $500. Includes all coffee breaks, lunches and/or Iftar, and transportation from the Conrad International in Cairo - the newest Conrad that is fully Y2K compliant.
