    Conversations are panel discussions that provide an in-depth, up-to-the-minute look at a single topic. Featuring three to four thought leaders and an expert moderator, Conversations consist of a 60-minute discussion, followed by 15 minutes of audience q-and-a.

    Chicago is one of the most diverse cities in the world, but it’s also one of the most segregated. From rising gun violence to a historically unprecedented pension crisis to an underfunded public school system, the city is facing a lot of challenges, and its most vulnerable communities are bearing the brunt of it all. The problems in Chicago did not happen overnight, though—a long, complicated and corrupt history got us here. Join a group of leaders from the city for a look into the problem of structural racism, and some of the most creative and unique solutions for bridging the gap between the “two Chicagos.”
