The findings of this “think tank” will be presented on Thursday during the Congress for all participants to appreciate.

During the General Assembly Jochen Witt, UFI President 2007, will pass the gavel to our 2008 UFI President , Cliff Wallace. The UFI Congress Opening Ceremony will be the kick-off of Wallace's 2008 Presidential mandate.
