The Europe Asia Young Leaders Forum, whose location annually alternates between Europe and Asia, this year for the first time gathered in France.

Situated on the famous "Promenade des Anglais" in Nice, the conference hotel "Palais de la Méditerranée" gave a first impression of the Côte d'Azur lifestyle.

In order for the participants to gain some impressions of the region in spite of their packed conference schedule, the "Networking in Nature" programme started with a boat trip to the island Sainte Marguerite off Cannes, whose historic fortifications could be explored in the course of the programme.

The concluding evening took place in the festive atmosphere of the Hotel Hermitage in Monte Carlo.
