On the occasion of the 1984 London World Economic Forum
a critical alternative event was organized for the first time : The other Economic Summit (TOES).
Since then the civil society held a critical counter conference for every summit.
Also at German summits, there were alternative conferences:
1985 in Bonn-Bad Godesberg, 1992 in Munich and 1999 in Cologne.
So, naturally there will be an alternative summit in Heiligendamm 2007.
Next to street activities such a conference is an essential part of the critique,
because such a platform enables content and alternatives to be transported to the public.
