The annual meeting of the STS forum is held every year for three days from the first Sunday to Tuesday in October, and is attended by about 1,500 global scientists, policy makers, and business executives from 120 countries, regions, and international organizations. The annual meeting mainly discusses the direction of science and technology in various issues for the next 100 to 500 years.
