For the first time in one hundred years, Denver, Colorado will be the site of the presidential nominating convention of one of the two primary parties of the United States. From August 25 to 28, 2008, the Democratic National Committee will hold its quadrennial convention at the Pepsi Center located in downtown Denver.

Coincident with the convention, from August 25 through 28, the Denver 2008 Convention Executive Committee has launched a series of ten issue-oriented, nonpartisan roundtables to be held in the Denver Center for the Performing Arts, collectively entitled the 2008 Rocky Mountain Roundtable. Participants in the Roundtables will be drawn from the thousands of dignitaries scheduled to be in Denver during the convention week, from individuals across the country and the world by invitation, and from citizens in the local Denver-area community. The Roundtables are intended to take advantage of a unique opportunity to create profound dialogue on many of the most critical issues of the day, including health, emergency preparedness, the New West, philanthropy, technology, retirement security, transportation infrastructure, women in leadership, energy and climate change, and international relations.

Session Two: Global Poverty

2:00 am -4:00 pm

Participants: Madeleine Albright, Tom Daschle, Hernando de Soto, Sen. Tim Wirth, Amb. John Danilovich, Jim Wolfensohn, Nancy Birdsall, Ben Affleck

The global poverty agenda has gained remarkable momentum in recent years as a result of increasing bipartisan consensus that addressing poverty is in the security and economic interest of the United States; the moral priority placed on poverty alleviation by faith leaders; and the development in recent years of a clear, prioritized international agenda. This roundtable will explore how the United States can work with the international community to achieve significant reductions in global poverty in the near term.
