At the end of May 2016, ISL held its 11th International Symposium on Sustainable Leadership in Bangkok, Thailand.

The conference was kindly sponsored by the Thailand Sustainable Development Foundation, and we were also very fortunate to have the assistance of the College of Management, Mahidol University to help organise and present the conference.

Below are a few photos to give you a flavour of the successful and inspiring event.
