The agenda features a high-profile series of discussions, including the Henry A. Kissinger Annual Keynote Address and the inaugural Dr. John C. Malone Annual Keynote Address. Participants are set to examine the intersection of culture and technology, with a specific focus on the economic growth of women’s sports and the evolving relationship between global brands and their consumers. The summit arrives at a critical juncture for the industry, occurring just days before the U.S. midterm elections.

New additions to the speaker roster include Yahoo CEO Jim Lanzone, Mastercard’s Jill Kramer, and former NASA astronaut Mike Massimino. They join a group of previously announced industry titans, such as Goldman Sachs CEO David Solomon, NHL Commissioner Gary B. Bettman, and Sony Group Corporation President Hiroki Totoki. The event is supported by Hearst and PwC, alongside a coalition of media and technology firms. Founded in 1995 by Frank A. Bennack, Jr. and Henry A. Kissinger, the summit continues to serve as a primary forum for executives to navigate rapid industrial change.
