There were also smaller break-out sessions on the 2008 U.S. Presidential Elections and EU Leadership.The three-day conference brought together 30 young European and American leaders for stimulating discussions and debates. Before opening up to a broad ranging and engaging discussion, each session started with introductory remarks from both an American and European expert. The participants also enjoyed a special dinner session, where the host venue prepared a special menu highlighting international influence on regional Italian cuisine.
