A Note from the Editor
The Saturday where the Financial Times Weekend paper comes to life is back in Washington DC on 10 May 2025 and we have a host of thorny topics, new ideas and fresh perspectives in our sights. Inspired by the spirit of the season, this year's FT Weekend Festival: U.S. edition intends to reinvigorate the debates over compelling concerns whilst bringing you fun and educational experiences. Where curious minds meet is our festival theme and we look forward to bringing the global "big picture" to the Washington stage again.
As well as debates and interviews, come along for tastings, performances and the chance to meet and talk to our writers and columnists. For our global audience, we will stream sessions online and offer a catch-up service. Register here to join us and I will look forward to seeing you in person or online.
Register here to join us next May and I look forward to seeing you in person or online.
