If last year’s Aspen Action Forum is any indication, this year’s event will be full of powerful discussions on leadership and how to be disruptive in your field. The Forum convenes hundreds of thought leaders and influential — and international — Fellows from the Aspen Global Leadership Network with other leaders from the Institute and its partners for five days of seminars.
While the seminars are closed to the public, certain conversations between Fellows working in similar fields, as well as those with high-profile figures such as Aspen Institute Trustee and former US Secretary of State Madeleine Albright and Carlyle Group Co-founder and Co-CEO David Rubenstein, will be livestreamed each day.
Scroll down for our top five Forum discussions that you won’t want to miss. Mark your calendars so that you can watch these events as they happen on the Forum’s livestream page, and share your comments by tweeting us at @AspenAction.
