NEW YORK, Oct. 24, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Fortune announced today a list of confirmed speakers for its 2024 Fortune Global Forum, the premier gathering of CEOs and leaders of the world's largest multinational companies, alongside policy makers, thought leaders, and investors, convening November 11-12, 2024, in New York City at Jazz at Lincoln Center.

The Fortune Global Forum is known for facilitating meaningful conversations among leading figures in business, government, and culture, providing critical insights into global business strategies. This prestigious two-day event convenes top executives from the world's largest and most innovative companies, including the Fortune Global 500.

This year's theme, "Business at the Speed of Change," will address pressing issues in today's dynamic business landscape including managing workforces in an AI-powered economy, addressing ESG backlash, mitigating technology risks and regulatory challenges, tackling climate and energy issues, navigating geopolitical tensions, and capitalizing on opportunities in an unpredictable global trade environment.

Given the U.S. presidential election will be held less than a week before, and voters in more than 70 countries around the world have gone to the polls, the Fortune Global Forum kicks off on Monday Nov. 11 with a vital discussion on global diplomacy and America's role on the world stage with Leon Panetta, Chairman of the Panetta Institute for Public Policy and U.S. Secretary of Defense (2011-2013), Director, Central Intelligence Agency (2009-2011) and Mike Pompeo, U.S. Secretary of State (2018-2021), Director, Central Intelligence Agency (2017-2018), moderated by Clay Chandler, Executive Editor, Asia, Fortune and Co-Chair, Fortune Global Forum.

Seven-Time World Champion Tom Brady and Professor and Former Dean of Harvard Business School Nitin Nohria will talk with Fortune Editor-in-Chief Alyson Shontell on the art (and science) of teamwork. Gita Gopinath, First Deputy Managing Director of the International Monetary Fund, will speak with Fortune's Clay Chandler on how geopolitical and demographic shifts are shaping the global economy. Wynton Marsalis, Pulitzer Prize winning composer and Managing and Artistic Director of Jazz at Lincoln Center, will talk with Fortune Live Media Editorial Director Andrew Nusca about democracy, the pursuit of justice, and what the fundamentals of jazz can teach us about leadership.

"During these momentous times, we are honored to convene the brightest minds and leaders of the world's largest companies to meet face-to-face, peer-to-peer, and to drive an agenda of progress and transformation," said Anastasia Nyrkovskaya, Fortune CEO.
