Award-winning journalist, former co-anchor of CNN’s flagship morning show, and Founder and CEO of Day 2 Media, Poppy Harlow will join us for a conversation on leadership, reinvention, and the pivotal moments that shape a life and career.

The conversation will explore Harlow’s professional journey, from her years at CNN to the launch of Day 2 Media, her new venture dedicated to stories of resilience, transformation, and leadership. Through her forthcoming book, podcast, and media platform, Day 2 examines the defining decisions, unexpected transitions, and personal convictions that often lie behind exceptional careers.

The discussion will be followed by an audience Q&A and a reception.
