Comments on: Young entrepreneurs bond on the beach

Sure, the Young World Leaders Summit was at a luxury resort in Cancun. But that doesn't mean attendees weren't thinking about the dire economy.

by RugbyGod November 29, 2008 12:52 PM PST: So, why is this a news worthy story? I am not sure whether I can this... Was it really necessary to network in Mexico? I guess they wanted to make it less ridiculous by throwing in some non-profit companies to the mix. I have no qualm of people going on vacation and spending money. However, having "networking" as an excuse to "hangout"? That's just cowardly. Again, I ask why is this news...; Like this Reply to this comment

Actually we just couldn't wait until they left, so we could enjoy our vacation.; Like this Reply to this comment
