The New York Forum was created last year to bring together the main players from the public and private sectors to address the biggest challenges facing the global economy. This year's NYF, to be held in New York June 20-21, will look at the role of entrepreneurship in driving economic change, the complicated relationship between business and government, the perspective a new generation of leaders is bringing to business, and the dynamics of two of the world's thriving economic powers, Brazil and China.

The exclusive NYF app has been designed to give a fuller event experience for participants and speakers at the event. Participants will be able to:

1. See who is around you (in real-time) and connect with them, as well as arrange meetings on-site
