4. Milken Institute Global Conference
Los Angeles
The Milken Institute’s Global Conference brings together top players in business, technology, government, philanthropy, health care and entertainment to discuss major issues that affect the world today. The 23rd annual conference, held virtually in October 2020, centered on the theme “Meeting the Moment,” with an agenda that addressed the dual crises of a global pandemic and social injustice. The 2021 in-person event, held last month at the Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills, Calif., hosted 2,000-plus participants, down from the usual 4,000-plus, due to the pandemic and COVID-19 restrictions. It focused on how the disruptions and innovations of the recent past can be reframed for the future. Next: October 2022
