about
World 50 was created to initiate and facilitate the most interesting and influential business conversations in the world. It does this by providing select groups of senior executives a private peer membership for sharing insights on critical strategic and leadership issues.
Membership to each W50 group is by invitation only-with each group being limited to just 50 executives from non-competitive industries. The unique structure of each W50 group provides a trusted forum for members and exceptional guests to share ideas and best practices in an environment free from competition or solicitation.
