We've opened registration for our boldest venture yet in live journalism.
Every spring, the world's biggest brokers come together to address the core issues facing the world in meetings between the IMF and the World Bank. Of course, there are traditional news reports about what goes on inside these elite councils, but here at Semaphore, we go a step further.
Today, we open registration for the 2024 World Economic Summit. This is the boldest attempt yet in live journalism and the only major media event to be held against the backdrop of the IMF and World Bank meetings, which will take place in Washington DC on April 17th. -18.
Last year, Semafor made global headlines with our inaugural Summit, and this year we're excited to expand even further and announce a lineup of speakers featuring 100 global leaders including: .
Brian Moynihan, CEO of Bank of America. Jose Muñoz, President and COO of Hyundai Motors. Henry M. Paulson Jr., former U.S. Treasury Secretary. Xavier Becerra, U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services; Suzanne Clark, President and CEO, U.S. Chamber of Commerce; John Williams, President and CEO, Federal Reserve Bank of New York; Jared Bernstein, Chairman of the White House Council of Economic Advisers. Hans Vestberg, Chairman and CEO, Verizon; Richard Lesser, Global Chairman, BCG; and Sim Tshabalala, CEO, Standard Bank. Gretchen Watkins, President of Shell USA. Pat Gelsinger, CEO of Intel. Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., and others.
Joined by founding partners BCG, Verizon, Amazon, Bank of America, and Hyundai Motors, and presenting partner IBM, the 2024 World Economic Summit will explore today's global economic climate, from broken trade ties to economic challenges. It will be a must-see trade show covering the biggest issues we face. Threats and opportunities posed by AI.
Former U.S. Secretary of Commerce Penny Pritzker and Carlyle Group co-founder David Rubenstein will co-chair the event and serve as key advisors to the program. The summit, hosted by Semafor editors, will be held over two days at Gallup's Great Hall and Mellon Auditorium.
I look forward to meeting you all.
