About this Event

CEOs, heads of office, and other select C-suite executives from partner companies are invited to participate in quarterly meetings co-hosted by Council president Ivo H. Daalder and board cochair Samuel C. Scott III.

These executives-only meetings provide an opportunity for business leaders to participate in timely, business-relevant global policy discussions and hear directly from the Council’s bench of experts. They also provide a platform to showcase executive leadership in a room of peers, customers, service providers, and clients. From NAFTA to national security, immigration to climate change – insights from these discussions offer companies the competitive edge they need to thrive in an increasingly global economy.

In light of the drastic domestic and international shifts we've seen over the last 12 months, Council President Ivo Daalder will lead a conversation around the state of the world, the future outlook for 2021, and how the corporate world can adapt.
