 L-R: David Axelrod and Elie Wiesel
The 2010 Conference of Nobel Laureates taking place October 5th and 6th brings together Nobel Prize winners in a variety of disciplines, including Professor Elie Wiesel and leading entrepreneurs and innovators. A short list of Nobel Prize winners who will attend include Peter Agre (Chemistry, 2003); Philip Anderson (Physics, 1977); Sheldon Glashow (Physics, 1979) and Mario Malina (Chemistry, 1995). As well, Daniel Schwartz, Executive Director of Elie Wiesel Foundation for Humanity, Josh Silverman, CEO of Skype and Leslie Gelb, President Emeritus at the Council on Foreign Relations are just a few industry leaders who will also be in attendance.
The 2010 Conference is modeled in part on the Foundation’s four Nobel Conferences in Petra, Jordan, which took place annually between 2005 and 2008, co-hosted by the King Abdullah II Fund for Development. The conference at the 92nd Street Y seeks to extend the impact of the conference by pairing the wisdom and expertise of academics, artists and scientists with a new generation of business and media executives.
Participants of the 2010 conference, meeting in private sessions, will once again address the Middle East, the importance of youth engagement, education and economic development. In addition, they will also discuss the need for a new, sustainable approach to corporate leadership that will ultimately be a force for good in our fast-changing, increasingly transparent and inter-connected world.
At the conclusion of the conference on Wednesday evening, October 6, Elie Wiesel and David Axelrod, Senior Advisor to President Barack H. Obama, will provide the summaries of the discussions. Purchase tickets to that panel discussion here.
