Caux Forum Online 2021
What is the Caux Forum?
The annual Caux Forum, a programme of conferences, training and dialogues, aims to inspire, equip and connect individuals, groups and organizations so that they can build a just, peaceful and sustainable world.
Each year around 1,500 people attend the Forum to address the burning issues of our time and to find innovative, creative and sustainable answers together. Participants and speakers are drawn from civil society, government and business. A safe space of trust, care, solidarity and respect provides them with the opportunity to discuss openly and in-depth a variety of issues.
Participating in the Caux Forum is about unlocking your potential: it encourages individuals, groups and organizations to reflect on their roles, explore their resources, and connect with their responsibilities as changemakers, on the basis that everyone can make a difference.

In today’s fast paced environment, the Caux Forum offers the opportunity to slow down, to experience silence, and to reflect on what truly matters. The stunning view of Lake Geneva and the surrounding mountains provide a wonderful backdrop for inner listening and the search for wisdom.

The Caux Forum encourages individuals to share their own stories to inspire others. This personal exchange of experience and insight is common to all our main events, dialogues and training programmes. It has proved a powerful tool for enabling honest conversations, building trust and igniting personal inspiration and action.

Participants are invited to contribute to the tasks involved in running the conference centre. This gives them a unique way to connect with each other in a more informal setting, places everyone on an equal footing and breaks down silos.
The Caux Forum usually takes place in the Caux Palace, a former Belle-Époque Grand Hotel nestled in the mountains 1000m above sea level, with a breathtaking view over Lake Geneva and the Alps which provides a unique and inspiring setting. After a full day at the Caux Forum, participants can enjoy the spectacular scenery from their balcony. The Caux Forum offers them time to gain some perspective, retreat from the bustling routine and find a space that allows for silent reflection, creative sharing and an exchange of ideas.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic the Caux Forum 2020 took place online. You would like to know more about last year's events? Discover the highlights, reports and videos.
