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 life 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.
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.
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.

What Our Partners Are Saying

"When I think of the Milken Institute the first words that come to mind are commitment and quality. The Institute has a reputation for its commitment to convening the world’s thought leaders on major policy issues. It’s the reason I chose to partner with the Institute. I leave the Global Conference each year recharged for the possibilities in solving our world’s biggest challenges."
- Jarvis V. Hollingsworth
CHAIRMAN, BOARD OF TRUSTEES, TEACHER RETIREMENT SYSTEM OF TEXAS
"There's so much duplication in nonprofits across the board. Everybody wants to do their own little thing, and it's extremely, extremely inefficient. And so it's insane to try to do some of these things yourself when the Milken Institute already has many of the pieces in place, it's just 50 times easier."
- Manny Friedman
CO-CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER & CO-CHIEF INVESTMENT OFFICER, EJF CAPITAL

CASE STUDY

A destination for thought-provoking content and convening on issues

CITI AND GLOBAL CONFERENCE

Citi has been a strategic partner of the Milken Institute for several years. In that time, as their business and priorities evolved, the type of engagement they pursued with our audiences did as well. For three years, Citi sponsored the Citi Terrace at our annual Global Conference. It served as a destination for thought-provoking content and for convening on issues showcased throughout the conference, and always with a focus on diverse voices highlighted on each panel.

14 sessions held at the Citi Terrace and live-streamed globally
Nearly 1,000 conference attendees engaging across the duration of the event, with substantial online amplification
