Jennifer Wines, speaker at FTWeekend in Washington DC

The Saturday where the Financial Times weekend paper comes to life is back in Washington DC on May 4 and we have a host of thorny topics, new ideas and fresh perspectives in our sights. Inspired by the spirit of the season, this year's FT Weekend Festival: U.S. edition intends to reinvigorate the debates over these compelling concerns and bring you fun, yet educational experiences. Where curious minds meet is our festival theme and we look forward to bringing the global "big picture" to the Washington stage.

Join us to listen to your favourite FT journalists at a one-day festival in the heart of Washington, D.C. As well as debates and interviews, come along for tastings, performances and the chance to meet and talk to our writers and columnists.
