In 2012, the Milken Institute Global Conference will celebrate its 15th year. Since 1998, the Institute has been convening some of the world's most extraordinary people to explore solutions to today's most pressing challenges.

Set for April 29--May 2 in Los Angeles, the 2012 Global Conference will bring together the diverse worlds of business, finance and policy to come up with fresh solutions to the globe's biggest challenges. The Global Conference has become an important venue for thought leaders in a wide range of disciplines to present their views before a high-caliber audience with the resources to get things done. It's also an invaluable, informal setting to meet your peers and build new relationships.

Participants include hundreds of CEOs from the world's top-tier companies, senior foreign and U.S. government officials, leading figures in the global capital markets, forward-thinking academics, top journalists, and leaders in education, health care and philanthropy.

For 15 years, the Global Conference has been shaping the future. Take your place among these international leaders, and help us shape the next 15 years.
