Leadership Dialogues
The Week is proud to present its series of Leadership Dialogues. 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 2012 Leadership Dialogues, which were held in Washington, D.C., and Dallas, and covered topics including cybersecurity, energy, and the euro crisis — have included senators, chairmen of key congressional committees, members of the Federal Reserve, think tank experts, and leading journalists. Stay tuned for 2013, when we'll have another year of these important and thought-provoking forums.
