Ergo's Flashpoints Forum is a one-of-a-kind private membership organization that convenes leaders in business, government, and the NGO world for off-the-record conversations on key global flashpoints, including US-China trade, Brexit, North Korea, Iran, and the potential for a disputed US election. Flashpoints Forum members include investors with over $1 trillion in assets under management, C-suite level officers in several Fortune 10 companies, high-ranking US and allied government officials, prominent public health leaders, and others. In February, we turned our attention to the COVID-19 pandemic and launched the COVID-19 Intelligence Forum, a subset of the Flashpoints Forum. The COVID-19 Forum is dedicated to understanding every aspect of the pandemic and anticipating its twists and turns by delivering intelligence and forecasts from world’s leading experts and Ergo’s proprietary datasets and frameworks. We have featured world-leading epidemiologists, vaccinologists, testing innovators, former FDA commissioners, HHS officials, and state public health directors. Forum members have benefited from early warnings, often months in advance.
