About
A first conversation
In Mo Siegel’s words, this was the first leadership gathering of its kind in his fifty-five years of involvement with the revelation. The framing was deliberately plain: each organisation candidly identifying what it does well, what it doesn’t, and where its lanes overlap with others.
The participants below convened at 533 Diversey Parkway in Chicago, and online, on April 25–26, 2026. This site is published as a record of the conversation and an invitation to continue it.

Methodology
Each forum summary on this site is produced from a full session transcript. The summaries are written to be impartial — what was said, who said it — without rendering judgement on the substance.
Specific numerical claims, AI-derived figures, and historical assertions made by speakers in the room have not all been independently verified. A working list of items to confirm is held privately by the convening organisations and is not published here.
Names and spellings have been canonicalised where possible. If you spot a misattribution, the right path for a correction is to contact the convening organisations directly.
Convened annually
Mo Siegel committed to convening the Roundtable annually. The 2027 gathering’s date and host city are still to be announced.
