Education[edit]

This article says he is from the Ponts et Chaussées but apparently he is also from INSA Toulouse (Genie Civil 1983). This should be fixed or precised. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.83.11.66 (talk) 20:56, 7 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Bias[edit]

It seems this page has been written by the person himself or a close member, which is fine to get things started. However, a few things need to be ironed out, such as the current work section. I have removed the part that follows as it pertains to the work his agency does, not all by himself:

Few major recent productions have been the celebration of the 10th anniversary of the accession to the throne of the King of Jordan, the launching of the Bahrain Education Project in Manama, the APEC CEO summit in Honolulu with Presidents Obama and Hu Jintao, the Global Competitivness Forum in Ryadh, the Qatar-US business forum and the Schools for Tomorrow conference for the New York Times in New York.

On June 22–23 2010, Richard Attias and Associates has launched and produced The New York Forum in collaboration with the New York Times, the Boston Consulting Group and the Partnership for New York City. The New York Forum is the first summit to unite business leaders, sovereign funds and all major players in the global economy for an open, action oriented debate to foster ideas for improvement and reinvent current business models. Leaders as Carlos Slim, Christine Lagarde, Rupert Murdoch, Steve Case attended the Forum. In february 2012, Richard Attias has announced the creation of The New York Forum AFRICA (www.ny-forum-africa.com) in partnership with President of Gabon, Ali Bongo. In parallel, his company is creating and producing the Global Foord Security Forum in Morocco and the Doha GOALS (Gathering Of All Leaders in Sport) under the patronage of the Emir of Qatar.

All these initiatives enhances Attias's role as a global influencer.

The paragraph current work isn't valid as well, as current is not a year, or a specific historical period.
