Join the U.S.-India Business Council for our flagship annual event, the India Ideas Summit. As USIBC celebrates our 45th anniversary, we are proud to bring you an exciting and action-packed virtual Summit featuring high-level U.S. and Indian government policymakers, state-level officials, and thought leaders from business and society.
Unlike our traditional in-person summits, we are making some of our content publicly available this year. Day 1 of the Summit will be a members and guests-only series of discussions on sector and issue-specific issues. These sessions will be held as interactive Microsoft Teams and Live events, which will offer opportunities for members to engage key policymakers directly. You’ll find links below to each of the sessions held during day 1.
Day 2 of the Summit will be open to the public and feature conversations on broader global dynamics shaping the U.S.-India Corridor. You can watch Day 2 of the Summit here: https://www.uschamber.com/event/usibc-s-india-ideas-summit-45th-annual-meeting
