Through stories and video excerpts, Roni Kuban will reveal his professional secrets: how to build intimacy, ask the toughest questions, and spark authentic conversation in any encounter, whether with presidents, artists or in everyday life.

Join Israel’s most prominent journalist and host of the award-winning TV program “Meeting”, as he shares behind-the-scenes stories from over two decades of unforgettable interviews with figures such as Shimon Peres, Yitzhak Tshuva, Woody Allen, and the Dalai Lama.

Kuban is an MGSDII Visiting Professor at SDSU for Fall 2025 in the School of Journalism. Critics have called him “the best interviewer in Israel, sharp yet empathetic” (Haaretz), and praised his work for “changing the public discourse” (Yediot Aharonot). He won an Israeli academy award six years in a row.

Those who wish to connect with Roni and others in Hebrew are warmly invited to stay for an after-party conversation.
