What are the latest insights into the elections and beyond, and what does it mean for investors and the global economy?

Presidential elections often are turning points in America – in politics, policy and priorities. That is especially true this year, when Americans will decide whether to stay the course with President Barack Obama or replace him with Republican Mitt Romney amid rising concerns about a sluggish economy, rising debt, partisan gridlock in Washington and ominous signs from Europe.

Reuters Washington Summit will focus on these election-year themes and more – including how new campaign finance rules are allowing the wealthy to have more of a say in shaping campaigns.

The Summit will include closed interviews with key players in Washington politics and policy-making who will give Reuters journalists their insight into what to expect this fall and beyond – including the post-election session of Congress that is expected to face a “fiscal cliff” of tax and budget issues.

Some key interviews will air live exclusively on Reuters Insider - our multimedia platform delivering relevant news, analysis and trade ideas.
