4. Milken Institute Global Conference
Up from #5
Los Angeles
The Milken Institute’s Global Conference brings together top players in business, technology, government, philanthropy, healthcare, and entertainment to discuss major issues that affect the world today. The 2019 program balanced hard-hitting conversations about government and finance with stress-relieving activities like yoga, massages, and playtime with puppies. More than 4,000 heavy hitters attended this year’s conference at the Beverly Hilton Hotel to gain insights from leaders like IMF Managing Director Christine Lagarde, Goldman Sachs C.E.O. David Solomon, and Ivanka Trump, whose lunch session on shared prosperity was the week’s hottest ticket. Next: May 2-6, 2020
