2021: Past, Present & Future of the United States

As President Johnson once said: “America is not merely a nation but a nation of nations.” and these powerful words entirely grasp the essence of the Union; the essence of these United States.

The purpose of this conference is to explore the American Past; live in the Present moment; and face the unknown Future…

During this three-day online conference three central themes will emerge: Politics, Crises and Business. Several respected academics and professionals will guide us into the realms of the American business and political cultures, supplemented by the ongoing pandemic and wealth inequality crises.
