All Kellogg alumni and friends are warmly invited to join us in San Francisco for our flagship engagement programme, Open Conversations – Kellogg Beyond Oxford , from 30 April to 2 May 2027. Kellogg’s flagship forum Open Conversations convenes leading thinkers, innovators, and changemakers from Oxford, Silicon Valley, and around the world to explore some of the most urgent and fundamental questions shaping our shared future. We are curating an outstanding programme that will explore big questions and complex future challenges with internationally recognised leaders and influential thinkers from business, academia and public life. While the full speaker line-up remains under wraps, we are in discussions with figures at the very highest levels and anticipate an even greater number of globally recognised names than last year, when speakers included former UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon and CNN anchor Kristie Lu Stout alongside ambassadors, chief executives and academics. We are delighted to confirm the return of Baroness Jan Royall , alongside Colin Kahl , former United States Under Secretary of Defense for Policy; Gavin Svenson , Director of the Oxford University Museum of Natural History and Kellogg Fellow; and Carl Heneghan , Professor of Evidence-based Medicine and Kellogg Fellow. View the Open Conversations 2027 webpage for further details and to reserve your place.
