CNN Future Summit: Virtual Worlds
Future Summit: Virtual Worlds will focus on computer and internet technology and how it is blurring the lines between reality and imagination. From breathtaking vistas on the movie screen, heart-pounding action in online games, to the increasing popularity of online social networking, we will take a look at how these technological developments are shaping our communities and the lives of our children. Some of the biggest global names from these fields join our two panels in Singapore and Stanford University.
CNN Future Summit: Saving Planet Earth
The final installment in the CNN Future Summit initiative, 'Saving Planet Earth' tackles head-on arguably the most pressing issues the world faces, namely the effects of climate change and what can be done do to mitigate it.

Guests for the debate are the President of Iceland Olafur Grimsson, the record breaking round-the-world balloonist Bertrand Piccard, a member of India Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's council on climate change Sunita Narain, controversial Danish writer and academic Bjorn Lomborg and Barrie Pittock, contributing author to the IPCC which shared the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize. 40mins.
