Past Program

Nobel laureates, business leaders, journalists, diplomats, and other exceptional guests from around the world will convene at Schloss Leopoldskron to discuss major global trends in an attempt to decode what’s next: next for transatlantic relations, next for global competition, next for the environment, next for humanity.

Rather than relying on traditional expert panels, the Salzburg Global Future Forum sessions take the form of dynamic, in-depth salon conversations between three individuals on stage—a moderator and two distinguished guests.

Featured guests include:

• Steven Erlanger, Chief Diplomatic Correspondent Europe, The New York Times
• Benedikt Franke, Vice-Chairman and CEO, Munich Security Conference
• Franz-Stefan Gady, Associate Fellow, International Institute for Strategic Studies
• Leonore Gewessler, Party Leader, Austrian Green Party
• Natalie Harsdorf, Director General of the Austrian Federal Competition Authority
• Rieke Havertz, International Correspondent, Die Zeit
• Eric S. Maskin, Adams University Professor at Harvard University and Nobel Laureate
• Oleksandra Matviichuk, Chair of the Centre for Civil Liberties and Nobel Peace Prize Laureate

Martin Weiss, President and CEO, Salzburg Global, will moderate some of these conversations.

By invitation only.
