Keynote Lunch
John Harwood on Policy, Politics, Media and Culture
A Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, John Harwood is a widely respected nonpartisan expert in presidential politics, renowned for his compelling explorations into headline-grabbing events in Washington and his must-see interviews with the most influential leaders shaping our nation. Drawing on his four decades of high-level Washington journalism experience, he’ll provide an in-depth look at the current administration’s policies—tariffs, tax-cuts, immigration and international relations—and their implications now and for the future. He'll also examine the administration’s relationship with the rapidly changing media and provide insight on the choices facing the White House and Congress that will impact businesses and your own pocketbook.
