The second annual New York Ideas forum will gather cutting-edge innovators with a simple goal: to draw out the strands of genius from leaders whose work and passions are changing our world. Taking place at the New York Historical Society, New York Ideas will gather over 600 New York and national thought leaders across two days of programming. Through interviews, panels, debates, displays, and break out sessions, we’ll showcase the trends, innovations, and technologies driving the business landscape and will push these visionaries and iconoclasts to share their insights into what matters most, what works, and what's coming next.
Through one-on-one interviews and panel discussions, the program will feature innovators across a variety of sectors, including: Eric Schmidt, Executive Chairman and former CEO of Google; Ted Leonsis, Co-CEO of Groupon; Sallie Krawcheck, former President of Bank of America’s Global Wealth and Investment Management Division; Randy Levine, President of the New York Yankees; chef Mario Batali; Richard Plepler, CEO of HBO; Gretchen Rubin, bestselling author of The Happiness Project; Jared Cohen, Founder and Director of Google Ideas; Anant Agarwal, President of edX; Rachel Haot, Chief Digital Officer of New York City; Pete Cashmore, Founder and CEO of Mashable; Lauren Bush Lauren, CEO, Creative Director, and Co-Founder of FEED Projects, and John Maeda, president of the Rhode Island School of Design.
Participating journalists include: Kurt Andersen, host of “Studio 360”; Ken Auletta, media critic at The New Yorker; Maria Bartiromo, host of CNBC’s Closing Bell; Willie Geist, co-anchor, The Today Show; and Richard Wolffe, Vice President and Executive Editor of MSNBC.com.
They will be joined by some of The Atlantic’s leading editorial voices, including: Steve Clemons, editor at large; Ta-Nehisi Coates, senior editor; Darhil Crooks, creative director; Jen Doll, senior writer at The Atlantic Wire; Megan Garber, staff writer; Gabriel Snyder, editor of The Atlantic Wire; and Derek Thompson, senior editor.
