Executive Conversations
Executive Conversations are gatherings of approximately 50-100 Economic Club members. These more intimate settings allow Club members to interact with speakers through the in-depth exploration of subjects of compelling interest to the United States' business community. These sessions are typically closed to the media.
The Economic Club is particularly interested in expanding the international focus of Executive Conversations. We partner with embassies, through our Global Initiative program, to provide ambassadors and global business leaders the opportunity to share their perspectives on economic and political relationships between the U.S. and their nations.
In addition to our recent Global Initiative events featuring the United Kingdom's Dame Karen Pierce, Germany's Emily Haber, and France's Philippe Étienne, Global Executive Conversation topics have included robust discussion on the war in Ukraine, the state of the global economy, the rise of China's influence, and the outlook on the world's political systems.
