“We are not inviting too many politicians… because I realized that when you have political leaders on stage, the attention of the media, let’s be very frank, is diverted to the political agenda, and we don’t want FII to become a political platform.”

Richard Attias, CEO of the FII Institute, the organizer of the FII 2022. No Biden administration officials were invited to attend this year’s event. Attias said he was seeing “more and more appetite from the US private sector to attend FII.” [The New Arab]
