Miami, Florida This invitation-only event is an ideal opportunity to exchange views on the latest global challenges in a converging world. The theme of this year's Accenture Global Convergence Forum was "Achieving High Performance in a Multi-Polar World". Through provocative plenary addresses, insightful breakout discussions and a wide offering of networking opportunities, we explored the dimensions of high performance in a multi-polar world.
