Who’s going: Some of Wall Street’s biggest names are scheduled to attend, mostly virtually, according to the conference’s itinerary. James Gorman of Morgan Stanley will be interviewed by the CNN anchor Erin Burnett. In 2019, Morgan Stanley and Goldman sent lower-ranking execs to the conference, not their C.E.O.s. Companies contacted by DealBook pointed to the important business relationships they have with cash-rich Saudi Arabia and others in the region. Representatives for CNN, Credit Suisse, Morgan Stanley, SoftBank and Mr. Ubben did not return requests for a comment.
