What We Do

About Our Events

Global Thought Leaders
We convene the brightest minds and those with the capital and influence to change the world and connect them with those whose expertise and creativity are reinventing health, finance, business, technology, philanthropy, industry, and society.
Connecting with Purpose
Through our exclusive events, convenings, and roundtables, the Milken Institute connects the right people in the right place at the right time. Some ideas are best presented on a global stage while others find value through workshopping in a private discussion. We work with our partners to design the format and find peers that will elicit impactful outcomes on the issues that matter.
Intersectional Solutions
We believe the best ideas can come from anywhere and from anyone. Our team keeps an ear to the ground in search of the innovative thinking that has the potential to address some of our greatest challenges. As technology has moved forward and the Milken Institute has physically moved into new geographies, our access to ideas has only increased, as has our ability to attract new capital investment from individuals, corporations, and governments.
