The Emmy Award-winning journalist and neurosurgeon, who practices at both the Emory Clinic and serves as Associate Chief of Neurosurgery at Grady Memorial Hospital, will share his experiences reporting from global crisis zones.
On March 9, 2020, Gupta became the first to publicly declare the coronavirus outbreak a pandemic, making this declaration ahead of both the World Health Organization and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Throughout 2020 and 2021, he reaffirmed his role as a trusted guide to viewers worldwide, helping navigate between facts and fiction surrounding COVID 19 and the pandemic.
The speaking engagement is part of a six-evening series featuring thought leaders from entertainment, technology, science, adventure, and politics, with each presentation concluding with an interactive question-and-answer session.
Beyond his medical practice, Gupta has reported from nearly every conflict zone, including Afghanistan, Iraq, and the Middle East, while covering natural disasters from the Haiti earthquake to Japan’s tsunami and Puerto Rico’s hurricane.
His recent works include “World War C: Lessons from the COVID-19 Pandemic and How to Prepare for the Next One” and “Keep Sharp: Build a Better Brain at Any Age,” the latter recently developed into a guided program called “12 Weeks to a Sharper You.”
Gupta currently hosts “Chasing Life with Dr. Sanjay Gupta” on CNN, exploring global perspectives on longevity and well-being through his international travels.
The organizers of the Distinguished Speakers Series are offering series packages starting at $240, with no individual tickets available. For more information, visit www.speakersla.com or call (310) 546-6222.
