(RED) and The Economist are coming together for the publication’s World In 2010 Festival – a festival of trends, issues and ideas that will shape the future. The Economist is generously contributing 5% of ticket sales to the Global Fund, inspired by (RED). The contribution will go towards programs to help eliminate AIDS in Africa.
The World In 2010 Festival is taking place December 6-7th at George Washington University in Washington, DC. From informed speakers who will address pressing economic, business, and political matters to segments by world-renowned performers, the event is sure to be a feast for the curious mind.
Highlights of The World in 2010 Festival include:
• Rare opportunity to be part of NBC's "Meet the Press" live studio audience and watch Anchor David Gregory and John Micklethwait, Editor in Chief of The Economist in a panel discussion on the year ahead*
• An evening of laughs with John Oliver of The Daily Show and friends
• Predictions for economic activity across the world by Austan Goolsbee, Council of Economic Advisers at The White House
• Chancellor Michelle Rhee of the District of Columbia Public Schools speaking on the future of education
*Please note: tickets to “Meet the Press” are limited to the first 200 pass holders.

This is GREAT news! To get people on the level of political/social media influence that the people attending this event have to support (RED)'s efforts in support of the Global Fund is absolutely BRILLIANT!
We need to keep up the pressure at all levels of society in our fight against HIV/AIDS in Africa & (RED) is doing a MAGNIFICENT job at this.
Please keep it up - and we'll be here to support you!
ALWAYS (RED) AT HEART, debbie:)

It is good to hear that are some people who care about
that real problem in Africa. It would be great to see that even more organisations will contribute to help
such programs. Good job!
