Get an unfiltered, insider look at what’s really happening behind the headlines with Anna Palmer—renowned journalist, founder and CEO of Punchbowl News, and former co-author of the influential POLITICO Playbook.

In this candid and fast-moving keynote, Palmer breaks down the forces driving today’s most important political and policy conversations—what matters, what’s noise, and what leaders in every sector should be paying attention to. Drawing on her experience reporting from Capitol Hill, interviewing key players, and building one of the most closely watched news organizations in Washington, she offers clarity amid complexity and context amid constant change.
