Northern Trust CEO Frederick H. Waddell to Address Global Leaders at the Chicago Forum on Global Cities

CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Northern Trust (Nasdaq: NTRS) Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Frederick H. Waddell will outline the business benefit of a thriving cultural community at the inaugural Chicago Forum on Global Cities, co-hosted by The Chicago Council on Global Affairs and the Financial Times, May 27-29 in Chicago.

“Understanding what drives global cities and how they in turn drive markets is critical to understanding global commerce and trade today,” said Waddell. “Successful businesses leverage insights from every sphere of influence – cultural, political, academic and others – to propel their expertise and ability to serve clients worldwide.”

The Chicago Forum on Global Cities will bring together global city leaders of the four pillars vital to urban life — business, education, arts and culture, civics — for a three-day multidisciplinary discussion on how to make their cities more economically vital, socially inclusive, and environmentally livable.

“We are delighted to have the support of Northern Trust and Rick Waddell,” said Ambassador Ivo H. Daalder, president of The Chicago Council on Global Affairs. “Private sector involvement in global cities is a major piece of the puzzle. As global leaders exchange ideas at the forum, we look forward to engaging Rick to discern how the cultural and economic aspects of a city interact and influence the business community.”

Waddell will his give remarks at the invitation-only opening dinner Wednesday, May 27 at 8:00 p.m. CDT at the Art Institute of Chicago.
