The audience is invitation-only and predominantly made up of elite C-suites, policymakers and innovators. Reuters NEXT states that 95% of attendees are decision-makers or budget holders.
It suits C-suite executives and policy figures who want to watch world leaders questioned by journalists, with António Guterres, Christian Klein of SAP and Rick Wurster of Charles Schwab among the speakers, and nearly all attendees hold budget authority. Mid-level practitioners and vendors hoping to pitch are poorly served, since entry is by invitation and applying only places a name on a waitlist.
Executives at a New York leadership summit of this kind usually wear business formal or sharp business attire, with dark suits common and a warm coat for the December cold.
