Welcome to the 15th Annual <strong>Milken</strong> <strong>Institute</strong> Global Conference<br />
Ask a typical young adult to identify his or her most valuable asset and you’ll hear answers like condos,<br />
cars and other “stuff.” Ask the U.S. Federal Reserve about the country’s largest assets and you’ll hear about real<br />
estate, deposits and financial instruments. These answers don’t just miss the mark; they aren’t even close.<br />
Human capital is by far the world’s greatest asset. As Nobel Prize-winning economist Gary Becker has<br />
discussed at past Global Conferences, three-quarters of the wealth in any advanced economy can be found in<br />
the knowledge, skills and experience of its people. When human capital is included, the U.S. balance sheet is<br />
not $72 trillion as calculated by the Fed, but closer to $300 trillion.<br />
Human capital is a central theme of this year’s Global Conference and the key to unlocking many of the<br />
most significant challenges and opportunities we’ll discuss over the next few days. Human capital is also what<br />
makes this event possible: 3,000 leaders from more than 50 nations will attend this year’s conference. That<br />
includes more than 500 speakers – top business executives, policymakers, scientists, entrepreneurs, investors,<br />
educators – who will participate in 140 panels across ten tracks: finance, industry, regions, health, education,<br />
media, energy, government, philanthropy, and successful aging.<br />
The questions our panels will address are wide-ranging, to say the least. How can we accelerate innovation<br />
in the medical industry? What should the K-12 education model look like? When will housing recover? Is<br />
political gridlock in Washington inevitable? How will the new global energy landscape change over the next<br />
few years? What’s the future of capitalism? What’s the fairest way to approach tax reform?<br />
But the Global Conference is about more than questions and discussion – it’s about solutions. You won’t see<br />
canned speeches or dry dissertations. We showcase competing ideas and encourage lively debate. And we hope<br />
you will engage directly with panelists and with fellow attendees in the same spirit.<br />
It can be difficult to choose among panels when multiple sessions are scheduled for the same time. Not to<br />
worry: Video of each session will be on our website, and on our mobile app, shortly after the discussion ends.<br />
Thank you for joining us. We wish you a productive and stimulating experience.<br />

Name Badge Identification<br />
You are required to wear your Global Conference name badge<br />
at all times during the conference for admittance to meals and<br />
sessions. The conference badge is not transferable. There is a<br />
$500 replacement fee for lost badges.<br />
<strong>Program</strong> Changes<br />
There may be last-minute changes to the program. All changes will<br />
be displayed on flat-panel screens located throughout the hotel.<br />
Session Seating<br />
Seating for sessions is filled on a first-come, first-served basis.<br />
Sessions – especially in the Executive Center – tend to fill quickly<br />
and are monitored to ensure attendees have seats; there is no<br />
standing room. Once a session is full, no one else will be admitted.<br />
This includes meal sessions. Pre-selection of a session does not<br />
guarantee you entrance to that session. If a session is full, you may<br />
attend any other session where there is room. Many sessions are<br />
simulcast in adjacent meeting rooms.<br />
Meal Seating<br />
Tickets will be required for lunch sessions. Attendees should have<br />
completed the Global Conference session selection tool to be<br />
guaranteed meals.<br />
Everyone who completed the online panel selection tool and<br />
included their lunch attendance will receive tickets in the<br />
conference registration packet at on-site registration. Those<br />
tickets will indicate seating assignments in the International<br />
Ballroom or the simulcasts in the Beverly Hills Ballroom or<br />
Pavilion. Reserved seats in the International Ballroom are held<br />
until 15 minutes after the published meal time. Seats that are<br />
released will be filled from the General Admission line on a<br />
first-come, first-served basis.<br />
Attendees should return tickets for meals they will not attend to<br />
the on-site registration desk.<br />
Sessions and Slides Online<br />
Recordings of individual sessions will be available for viewing online<br />
at www.milkeninstitute.org. Slides created specifically for the event<br />
will also be available on the <strong>Institute</strong>’s website after the conference<br />
concludes. These slides are available for conference registrants only.<br />
