The invitation came following the first international press coverage of the Rotating Tower and days before the event itself, planned since many months, was already set up to the small details. Mr Jay Epstien, Chairman of DLP Piper called Dr Fisher saying: “you have changed the rules of construction so we can change the rules of our Summit”.
Dr Fisher indeed, gave his speech about the tower of the future, the first one, at the opening dinner gala of the Summit.
