Global Conference 2021 | Milken Institute | 17 October 2021 | The Beverly Hilton, 9876 Wilshire Blvd, Beverly Hills, CA 90210, USA

The Milken Institute Global Conference convenes the best minds in the world to tackle its most urgent challenges and to help realize its most exciting opportunities. It is a unique experience in which individuals with the capital, power, and influence to change the world connect with those whose expertise and creativity are reinventing health, finance, technology, philanthropy, industry, and media. The 24th annual Global Conference will center on the theme, “Charting a New Course.” In recent months, the impact of social crisis, economic dislocation, and global pandemic has called us to reflect on how we live, what we believe, and what matters most. In October, we will focus on how the disruptions and innovations of the recent past can be reframed for a thriving future. Join us as we engage with our catalytic community to share the adversities and achievements of living through this moment in history – translating lessons learned and rebuilding meaningful, healthy, and prosperous lives for all.
