Wellbeing is complicated in the year 2023. As we emerge from a shared isolation imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic, there is renewed urgency to thoughtfully examine barriers to our wellbeing in the United States and around the world.
Join us for a conversation on the global state of wellbeing. Led by Semafor's expert editors and guided by Gallup data, we’ll explore global emotional trends, social connectedness, mental health, and what it means, ultimately, to be well.
Please note, this event is in-person and will not be livestreamed.
