The Milken Institute Announces Dynamic Roster of Speakers and Program Agenda for its 2023 Global Conference

The four-day event centers around the theme: “Advancing a Thriving World”

LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Today, the Milken Institute announced the initial program agenda and speaker lineup for its upcoming 2023 Global Conference, April 30 – May 3, held at The Beverly Hilton in Los Angeles, CA. The four-day event will focus on the theme: “Advancing a Thriving World.”

“As we move away from the pandemic and pivot forward, it’s clear that large portions of the global community do not feel they are thriving,” said Richard Ditizio, CEO of the Milken Institute. “We are tasking our attending leaders from government, industry, medicine, and the philanthropic community to bring their best thinking toward fixing that—to see advancing as an action verb.
