Heidrick & Struggles was among a high-profile group of influential business and government leaders as a sponsor of the Stanford Institute for Economic Policy Research (SIEPR) Economic Summit 2016 on March 11 at Stanford University. The one-day summit attracted more than 450 CEOs, private equity and venture capital investors and senior policy investors.

This year’s conference included thought-provoking discussions and panels on topics ranging from U.S.-China relations, whether the productivity slowdown is for real, and the impact of policy and market forces on renewable energy to what's ahead for healthcare reform.

Speakers included Lyndon Rive, CEO and co-founder Solar City; Steve Ballmer, former CEO, Microsoft; Rick Levin, CEO Coursera; Joseph Lacob, co-executive chairman, CEO and governor, Golden State Warriors, and Hal Varian, chief economist, Google, Inc.
