About the Event
This year we are heading to the beautiful Palos Verdes Peninsula just south of Los Angeles. The Terranea Resort is a Mediterranean-inspired retreat on the Pacific Ocean where global economic leaders regularly gather to tackle thorny issues while experiencing an epic seaside destination.
The CEO Summit is a rare opportunity for ESOP leaders to gain actionable intelligence on economic and political issues affecting their businesses, while engaging with fellow CEOs who are tackling similar challenges.
With a combination of world-class keynote speakers and expert-led roundtable discussions, topics and agendas vary each year based on the most pressing national and ESOP-specific issues.
