OCTOBER PROGRAM

NOTE: THIS AGENDA REFLECTS OUR OCTOBER PROGRAM. STAY TUNED FOR ANNOUNCEMENTS ON OUR DECEMBER CONFERENCE.

What will make our nation and its people healthier, and what should we mean by “wealth” in an age cursed by deep inequality? Nothing was off the table if it pertained to the health+wealth of our great country. (Yes it is great.) And while we always obsess about how evolving technology could help us address these things more effectively, we also overlayed another central issue—how has the pandemic changed the way we will all live and act?
