The first debate was held during the annual IMF meeting in Washington D.C. in collaboration with Pictet Nord America Advisors on Oct 13, 2017. The debate was wildly successful with a massive turn out and an interesting one-sided outcome, which was challenged on Jan 24! Our guests had a chance to join the exciting participatory Oxford style debate to discover who was able to sway their votes towards the desired direction based on rational but emotional arguments.
