“In a digital world, in-person exchanges always rise above.

During the inaugural Flexjet Forum, Flexjet Chairman Kenn Ricci moderated a wide-ranging and fascinating fireside chat with President Bush on foreign policy, the economy, the importance of freedom in the world, his love of painting and the value of family.

Upcoming Flexjet Forum events will feature accomplished individuals from a variety of disciplines including renowned business innovators, entrepreneurs, philanthropists, authors, academics, politicians and prominent figures from the media, sport, art, film, television and music. The unique settings and intimate audiences will make for encounters even the speakers have never previously experienced.
