Manage episode 485450421 series 3286326
The annual Milken Institute Global Conference in Los Angeles is an "intellectual banquet" of stimulating content. Over the course of three days more than 1,000 speakers take the stage to share insights on the latest business, political, healthcare and cultural trends. How it all comes together is both fascinating and daunting. On this episode of Press Profiles we sit down with Conrad Kiechel, the Milken Institute's executive director of global programming and events, to discuss assembling the jigsaw puzzle that is the global conference. From landing bold face names such as Scott Bessent, Jason Sudeikis, Jensen Huang and Patrick Dempsey, to creating unique and insightful panels. We also explore Conrad's career journey and how his background as a journalist taught him to be curious and tenacious - two imperative traits that help him pull off the conference each year.
