LOS ANGELES – On October 27-28, the Milken Institute will bring together CEOs, major investors, philanthropists and other leaders from around the world for its fourth annual London Summit. Like the Institute’s annual Global Conference – but on a more intimate scale – these leaders will focus on some of the world’s most pressing challenges. Panel topics include: whether central banks have created an asset bubble, the pace and challenges of Africa’s economic rise, and the current face-off between geoeconomics and geopolitics.
“We are delighted to return to London, bringing with us the Milken Institute’s unique ability to convene leaders, and extend our work addressing the core issues of access to capital, improving health, and spurring job creation,” said Institute CEO and President Mike Klowden. “The range and complexity of the world’s challenges is unprecedented. At the Milken Institute London Summit, we expect our speakers and participants will generate ideas that lead to solutions.”
Held at Salesforce Tower, the London Summit is an invitation-only event, but is open to registered media. Press may apply at http://www.cvent.com/events/milken-institute-london-summit-2014/event-summary-db02c71cca8a455aa20e2cbc6ebf0815.aspx and use code MEDIA-LS2014-MED.
