Sponsored by Zurich, these high-level discussions focus on the most pressing issues of the day — featuring newsmakers and experts from the public and private sector. Participants in our Leadership Dialogues, which were held in Washington, D.C., and Dallas, and covered topics including cybersecurity, energy, the euro crisis, and the 113th Congress — have included senators, chairmen of key congressional committees, members of the Federal Reserve, think tank experts, and leading journalists. Stay tuned as we present another year of these important and thought-provoking forums.
