The program tracks were not lacking... at each given hour, one could choose from 8-10+ topics and attend that discussion. This is over an 8 day time span; we went for the last 4 days. Of course, at any discussion I was in with Jonathan, I witnessed him ask a question at the end. This guy can eat up some Q&A, and I must say... leave some people stumped! He's a dandy.;)
Other really neat speakers at the event but not pictured below:
Mitt Romney, Chairman, Executive Partner Group, Solace Capital (and former Presidential Candidate)
Loretta Lynch, US Attorney General, Department of Justice
David Petraeus, Retired Army General and Chairman of KKR Global Institute, CIA Director 2011-2012 following a 37 year military career
Tom Fanning, Chairman, President & CEO of Southern Company (one of the largest energy producers in the US)
ALSO... something we found out later but very very cool... my Aunt Stephanie's sister was a speaker! Sylvia Burwell, Secretary, US Department of Health and Human Services
Mark Weinberger, Global Chairman and CEO of Ernst & Young. Amazing and seemed like such a down to earth guy! We attended a session on "What Will Drive Economic Success in the Next 20 Years?" He was on a panel with Mitch Daniels, President of Purdue and former Governor of Indiana, Mark Warner, US Senator from VA, and a few others. Great track!
A neat exchange between David Brooks, Columnist for the New York Times, and Arthur Brooks, President of American Enterprise Institute. (no relation;))
This chat was "Job as Vocation: Finding Meaning in Our Work"
Out and about...
A break in between speakers...;)
Fun, fun! We went with Ryan McGrath and his girlfriend, Meredith
The crew
Surprise birthday dinner in the suite! Local chef prepared.
Newt Gingrich, Former Speaker of the House! He spoke the day we flew out. Good stuff.
One night we attended the comedy night at a local bar which is packed with fest goers. They pulled Bob Costas, Sportscaster, on stage from the crowd. He was REALLY funny and really good.
