Our biannual forum for business leaders has returned—only this time, we’re partnering with Time for a very special engagement.
Join us for an unprecedented gathering of Fortune 500 CEOs, members of the Time 100, and leaders of all stripes—non-profit, academic, religious, and labor—intended to address the need for a global economic system that both encourages growth and spreads its benefits more broadly.
The theme for this special two-day conference is “The 21st Century Challenge: Forging a New Social Compact” and it culminates in an address by His Holiness Pope Francis. Beginning Friday Dec. 2, we will provide a live video feed of the event from Rome and the Vatican.
Below is a list of conference sessions that will be streamed. Please note that all times are in Central European Time, which is one hour ahead of London, six hours ahead of New York, and nine hours ahead of San Francisco.
