the gift of gathering YEARLONG FORUM CONSIDERS BUSINESS AND SOCIETY Each year, ND Forum organizers choose a consequential topic to feature in a series of conferences and events. The organizers draw in some of the most innovative experts in order to bring some of the best global thinking to bear.

Dean Woo also served as host for one of the Forum's signature events—a talk by Pulitzer Prize-winning New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman.
