NEW YORK, Feb. 21, 2017 - The New York Times will convene a robust group of speakers for its second annual New Work Summit, an interactive conference that brings together leading CEOs, subject-matter experts, data scientists, and other innovators to share and assess best practices and the most important new research on leadership for an audience of C-level executives and entrepreneurs. The theme this year is 'Leading the Teams of the Future.'

The Summit will open on the evening of Monday, March 6, at the Ritz-Carlton, in Half Moon Bay, California with dynamic dinner keynote conversations featuring Laszlo Bock, the former head of people operations at Google, and the award-winning Hollywood producer, Lee Daniels.

The Summit continues the next day, March 7, with a diverse lineup of provocative interviews, interactive discussions and small-group sessions, all carefully designed to inspire new ways for leaders to strengthen their companies, accelerate results, and ultimately improve the way we work.
