Thomas Friedman Returns to American Middle East Institute Conference

PITTSBURGH, Oct. 8, 2019 /PRNewswire/ — Three-time Pulitzer Prize winner and New York Times columnist, Thomas L. Friedman will return to the American Middle East Business Conference stage in Pittsburgh next week. Mr. Friedman has written extensively on the Middle East, global trade, globalization, and the environment. According to Simin Curtis, AMEI’s founder and CEO, Friedman’s talk Tuesday night at Carnegie Music Hall in Pittsburgh promises to be unforgettable.

“Thomas Friedman writes with a wide-angle lens. We’re in a moment in America and The Middle East where a single Tweet can disrupt the world’s trading floors and send anxiety to the street vendors in a crowded market,” said Curtis. Adding, “We live in unprecedented times and we’re glad he’s agreed to help us sort through it all. Clarity is one of his many literary gifts.”

Friedman first appeared at AMEI’s inaugural conference in 2008.
