In May of this year, over 4,500 attendees and 700 thought-provoking panelists from around the world gathered in Los Angeles, California, for the 21th annual Milken Institute Global Conference. Speakers included Nobel Prize winners, top industry leaders, scientists and heads of state, including U.S. Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin, U.S. Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross, Steve Ballmer, Tony Blair, and other luminaries. Almost 200 panel sessions offered a global overview of pressing questions facing investors and decision-makers. There were numerous panels on technologies that are fundamentally changing society, business, and investing. We present topics of interest to those with an eye toward growth, progress, and innovation.
