      Our FTWeekend Festival: U.S. edition is back on May 20, 2023! The world is moving at such a vertiginous speed that it is hard to predict what will dominate the headlines by next Spring. But, inspired by the spirit of the season, we intend to bring a host of fresh ideas and reinvigorate debates over politics, economics, the climate and much more. Where curious minds meet is our festival theme, and our ambition is to bring the global "big picture" to the Washington stage.


    Join us to listen to your favourite FT journalists at a one-day festival in the heart of Washington, D.C. 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 this May and I look forward to seeing you in May.
