press release
Hello all!
This is from a press release about a conference. I'm afraid a lot of it is confidential, but this is the sentence:
"Mit dieser Forderung gibt X zugleich einen thematischen Ausblick auf die diesjährige Y Conference."
Does it mean that in X's Forderung is "setting the tone" for Y Conference? Or is he merely "alluding to the topics presented at this year's Y Conference"?
Thanks very much for your help!

...sets the focus for...
With this demand X sets the focus for this year's Y conference. Alternatively we could go more literal and say "...provides an overview of the subject matter at this year's Y conference...

Francis Lee (X)
: a) doesn't "With this demand X sets the focus" sound like German-style English? b) what kind of "demand"? c) "overview" is IMO wrong here (=Übersicht)

reveals the focus
Just a total shot in the dark, Hilary, since the nature of the "Forderung" is so hush-hush and I don't know how much of a surprise it will be for people.
