The 2011 Corporate Conference featured an opening plenary session with Jeffrey R. Immelt, Chairman and CEO, GE, moderated by CNBC anchor Maria Bartiromo. Plenary sessions included former National Security Adviser Zbigniew Brzezinksi and CFR president Richard N. Haass on geopolitical risk; energy analyst Edward L. Morse, CFR adjunct senior fellow Meghan L. O'Sullivan, and Foreign Affairs editor Gideon Rose on the future of energy; and Nobel Laureate Michael Spence and economist Carmen M. Reinhart with former Treasury Secretary Robert E. Rubin on the economic outlook.
The conference also featured morning breakout sessions on the BRICs, global growth, and new emerging market economies, as well as afternoon small group dialogues that explored an intellectual theme for CFR's 90th anniversary, "Renewing America," which examines how policies at home directly influence the economic and military strength of the United States and its ability to act in the world.
