Why an international forum should count its outcomes

Most events report who came. The Forum will publish two numbers after each edition: deals signed and people placed. Here is how they will be counted.

The Forum will publish two numbers after each edition.

Deals signed

Agreements signed during the four days and confirmed in writing by both parties within thirty days.

People placed

People hired through the fourth day and confirmed by the employer within sixty days.

Everything else stays private

Who met whom, what was discussed and what did not close are never published. Before Edition 1, both figures read: published after Edition 1.
