NEW YORK, March 18, 2026—Today, Lippincott, the global brand, marketing and experience consultancy, announced it will be a supporting partner of Semafor World Economy, the definitive live journalism platform on the new world economy. Taking place April 13–17 in Washington, DC, the annual convening is expected to draw 450+ leaders, including CEOs and senior government officials.

As part of the multifaceted partnership, Lippincott will be featured within the mainstage program in a Partner Session focused on how industry-and category-leading brands should stay ahead of consumer demand and avoid disruption by new market entrants. The session, part of Semafor World Economy’s “Taking the Pulse of the Consumer Markets” programming track, will feature Lippincott Senior Partner and renowned innovation expert Taddy Hall and serial entrepreneur Craig Dubitsky, CEO and Cofounder of Happy Coffee. Their conversation will explore customers’ ever-changing expectations and address why so many companies struggle with meaningful innovation. Lippincott and Semafor have also partnered on designing the 2026 Annual Convening experience, including on-site activations poised to surprise and delight guests and leave a lasting impression well beyond the week.

This partnership reflects Lippincott’s belief that brand, design and human-centered experiences are essential tools for helping business leaders navigate complexity and connect more meaningfully with stakeholders.

“Forums like Semafor World Economy bring together leaders from business, government, and civil society at a critical moment—creating the candid dialogue and cross-sector collaboration needed to turn bold ideas into lasting tangible impact,” said Michael D’Esopo, CEO of Lippincott. “Lippincott is proud to partner with Semafor to help shape that conversation and to embrace the toughest challenges that will guide a more resilient, inclusive global economy.”

The speakers and participants of Semafor World Economy comprise a global cohort of more than 450+ CEOs and government leaders from across every sector spanning the G20 economies—including US Cabinet secretaries, central bank governors, finance ministers, and the CEOs of Fortune 500 companies—at a scale that makes it the largest convening of top global CEOs and government officials in the United States.
