New York Times columnist David Brooks will lead a March 11 discussion of three topics that have converged to create significant challenges for companies -- health care, energy and the environment -- at a time of major economic crisis.

Brooks will join experts on health care, climate change and sustainability, and the chief executive officers of three progressive corporations at the 63rd annual Indiana University Business Conference in Indianapolis at the Indiana Convention Center. “The 21st Century Perfect Storm: Health Care, Energy and the Environment” will begin at 9 a.m. and conclude at 2 p.m.

Also participating will be Susan Dentzer, editor-in-chief of Health Affairs; Amory Lovins, founder, chairman and chief scientist at the Rocky Mountain Institute; Bill McKibben, environmentalist and author; Michael A. Evans, president and CEO of AIT Laboratories; Douglas Lattner, chairman and CEO of Deloitte Consulting LLP; and Michael G. Rippey, president and CEO of ArcelorMittal USA.
