Titled the “21st Century Perfect Storm,” this year’s annual business conference at Indiana University’s Kelley School of Business will examine the convergence of three significant challenges facing companies at a time of major economic crisis – healthcare, energy and the environment.
The conference, now in its 63rd year, will take place at the Indiana Convention Center on Wednesday, March 11th. New York Times columnist David Brooks will moderate discussion of the three topics among leading experts on healthcare, climate change and sustainability and the chief executive officers of three progressive companies working to proactively address the converging issues.
“How the state weathers the perfect storm we now face will depend largely on the decisions made by the leaders in our business sector,” Kelley School Dean Dan Smith said in a statement announcing the conference agenda. “The overarching goal of this year’s conference is to help provide practical insight on how to navigate in these difficult waters,” he continued.
Other scheduled conference speakers include Susan Dentzer, editor-in-chief of Health Affairs; Amory Lovins, founder, chairman and chief scientist at the Rocky Mountain Institute; Bill McKibben, environmentalist and author; Michael A. Evans, president and CEO of AIT Laboratories; Douglas Lattner, chairman and CEO of Deloitte Consulting LLP; and Michael G. Rippey, president and CEO of ArcelorMittal USA.
