This year's conference will feature CEOs, entrepreneurs, educators, elected officials, portfolio managers, journalists and an army of other influencers.

Having both covered the annual event as a journalist and participated in it as a moderator and speaker, it is rewarding to see this important conference continue to be a hotbed for new and innovative ideas.  One of the great aspects of the conference is that it brings together thought leaders from many different public and private sectors who exchange insights and learn from one another.

Throughout this three-day conference I will continue to post thoughts and photos here.
