An Analytical Retrospective on COVID-19 and Infectious Disease

Presented by:

Dr. Sabeti, who led the original team that genetically sequenced the Ebola Virus and has been a leader in scientific breakthroughs aimed at stopping the spread of COVID-19, took a look back at what was learned from the past year, and discussed opportunities to expand on these lessons in the years ahead.

This session was followed by topic-based dedicated networking time using our conference software platform.

Presented by:

• Michael Lewis, best-selling author of modernclassics including “Moneyball”, “The Blind Side”, “The Big Short”, “Liar’s Poker” and the upcoming “The Premonition: A Pandemic Story” coming out May 4. (Conference attendees will receive a copy of the book prior to the session.)

A summary of Lewis’ forthcoming best-seller:

“The news out of China was not good: there were signs that a new disease might be big—scary big, like a brushfire coming at you uphill. Authorities, medical and political, saw no reason to worry and little need for tests. Michael Lewis’s riveting nonfiction thriller pits a rogue band of visionaries, working under the radar, against the weight and disinterest of officialdom. It is a race against time, and the deadline is now … or yesterday.”

Join us, read your complimentary copy of the book, and ask questions of this dynamic author at the ALDA Senior Executive Conference.
