World Salon
World Salon
The clearest view of where an industry is heading usually belongs to the people making its decisions, and it rarely leaves the room. World Salon brings it into the open.
We convene senior leaders from business, government and academia, including chief officers, partners, investors, economists, policymakers and researchers, for candid roundtable conversations on how technology, markets and policy are reshaping their fields. Each roundtable is an invited panel built around a single question. We publish the conversations as video, articles and analysis, so the insight reaches well beyond the panel.
Founded at Columbia University and based in New York, World Salon has hosted more than 350 speakers. They include leaders from Oracle, Microsoft, Meta, Citi, S&P Global, Mayo Clinic, PepsiCo, Boston Consulting Group, Bain & Company, Tishman Speyer and New Mountain Capital; Harvard, Stanford, MIT, Wharton and Oxford; and Brookings, CSIS, the Peterson Institute and the United Natio
