The Milken Institute Global Conference returns to Beverly Hills from May 2 to 5, 2027, at The Beverly Hilton and the Waldorf Astoria Beverly Hills, according to the Milken Institute. The Institute describes its attendees as global business leaders, investors, policymakers, philanthropists, researchers, nonprofit leaders and innovators, and recent speakers have included Bill Clinton, Kristalina Georgieva, Jensen Huang, Mary Barra and Queen Rania Al Abdullah. The 2026 edition was the 29th annual conference.
For four days, a short stretch of Wilshire Boulevard becomes a meeting place for finance, policy and philanthropy. Elly8.net books the ground transport around it: a chauffeur at LAX or at the Van Nuys FBO, a car to the conference hotel door, a chauffeur on standby for meetings in Century City, Santa Monica and Downtown, and the car for the private dinners that fill every evening. Los Angeles prices are fixed and all-in, and they do not change for conference week.
How do you get to the Beverly Hilton for the Milken Global Conference?
The Beverly Hilton is at 9876 Wilshire Boulevard, at the crossroads of Wilshire and Santa Monica Boulevards, about 11.8 miles (19 km) from LAX by road. Book a chauffeur who drops you at the hotel entrance and comes back at a set pickup window. LAX to Beverly Hills costs from US$170 in a Business Sedan.
The two conference hotels are neighbors. The Beverly Hilton describes its address as 9876 Wilshire Boulevard, at the crossroads of the famed Wilshire and Santa Monica Boulevards, and the Waldorf Astoria Beverly Hills is at 9850 Wilshire Boulevard. That intersection is busy on an ordinary weekday. During the conference, add delegates arriving together in the morning, cars queuing for hotel driveways, conference security and meetings that let out at the same time.
The answer most senior attendees use is a pickup window rather than an on-demand ride. Tell the desk when your session or meeting ends, and the chauffeur is waiting at the agreed point, inside the arrangements the hotels and the organizers set for vehicles that week. If your schedule shifts, a text to the chauffeur moves the window.

Arriving for the conference: LAX, Van Nuys, Burbank or John Wayne
| Airport | Distance to Beverly Hills | Clear-road drive | Business Sedan | Business SUV | First Class Sedan | Executive Sprinter |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| LAX | 12 mi / 20 km | about 22 min | US$170 | US$225 | US$300 | US$445 |
| Hollywood Burbank (BUR) | 13 mi / 21 km | about 27 min | US$175 | US$230 | US$310 | US$455 |
| Van Nuys (VNY) | 16 mi / 26 km | about 25 min | US$200 | US$260 | US$350 | US$520 |
| John Wayne Orange County (SNA) | 50 mi / 80 km | about 64 min | US$370 | US$485 | US$650 | US$965 |
Prices are per vehicle and include the chauffeur, taxes, standard gratuity and airport meet and greet; tolls, parking and waiting beyond the included time are billed at cost. First Class SUV fares run from US$275 at LAX to US$595 at SNA. Clear-road times are what the map shows at night; on a weekday afternoon on the 405, allow far longer. The fare stays the same.
LAX. Most attendees from the East Coast, Europe and Asia land at LAX, with its loop of Terminals 1 to 8 and the Tom Bradley International Terminal. App rides and taxis are sent to LAX-it, a pickup lot outside the terminal area. Your chauffeur meets you inside arrivals with a name board instead, after tracking your flight, and waiting after a tracked landing is complimentary. Book an LAX car service and see meet and greet.
Van Nuys. Van Nuys Airport is the general aviation airport in the San Fernando Valley and a usual choice for private jets serving Los Angeles. Give us the FBO and the tail number and the chauffeur meets you at the FBO your operator uses. See private jet and FBO car service.
Burbank and John Wayne. Burbank suits domestic arrivals from the Bay Area and the Northwest; John Wayne suits guests based in Orange County.
The conference-week plan
Mornings. The chauffeur collects you at your hotel, or at a home in Bel Air or Brentwood, and sets you down at the conference hotel at your first session's time. If you are staying at the Beverly Hilton or the Waldorf, you may need the car only for meetings away from the venue.
Between sessions. The real business of the week often happens off-site: a breakfast in Century City, a meeting on Sunset, a lunch in Santa Monica, a visit to a portfolio company downtown. A chauffeur by the hour, as directed, costs from US$105 in a Business Sedan, US$135 in a Business SUV and US$210 in an Executive Sprinter, with a three-hour minimum, and the car stays with you between stops.
Evenings. Conference week is also dinner week: hosted dinners, receptions and late meetings in Beverly Hills, West Hollywood and Malibu. The evening out and event night package, five hours with one car, costs from US$525 in a Business Sedan to US$1,050 in an Executive Sprinter. The chauffeur follows local rules on drinks in vehicles.
Full days. For a day that begins with a breakfast meeting and ends after dinner, the ten-hour corporate roadshow day, from US$945 in a Business Sedan, is the simplest booking. See investor roadshows, executive car service and conference transportation.

The rates do not change for the conference. Availability does: First Class SUVs and Sprinters are booked early for the first week of May, so reserve now.
Principals, hosts and investor teams
Many attendees travel as a team: a principal, a chief of staff, analysts and guests for dinner. The desk can run a First Class Sedan for the principal on a full day, a Business SUV for the team and an Executive Sprinter to move a dinner party from Beverly Hills to Malibu, all on one reference. Firms hosting clients often book cars for their guests' arrivals and departures as well.
Discretion is standard. Chauffeurs are briefed only on approved names and addresses, itineraries go only to the people you specify, and NDAs are available on request. Elly8.net provides transportation, not security; executive protection should be arranged separately. See corporate car service and government, diplomatic and delegation transportation for official visitors.
A corporate account gives fixed fares for every traveller and monthly invoicing. Executive assistants and travel managers can book on account through travel-agent accounts, and hotel concierges through hotel accounts.
Honest alternatives: rideshare, taxi and Metro
Los Angeles has options, and for some trips they are fine.
| Option | Cost | Best for | Weak point in conference week |
|---|---|---|---|
| Metro rail via the LAX/Metro Transit Center | US$1.75 regular fare | One traveller, light bag, budget first | Connections needed; not a door-to-door option to Beverly Hills |
| Taxi from LAX-it | Metered | Spontaneous trips | Shuttle to the lot, traffic on the meter |
| Rideshare app | Dynamic pricing | Short daytime hops | Surge and waits when sessions end together |
| Uber Black | Dynamic pricing | On-demand premium rides | No standby car between meetings |
| Elly8.net chauffeur | LAX from US$170; by the hour from US$105 | Executives, teams, back-to-back meetings | Book early for May |
The Metro regular fare is US$1.75, and the LAX/Metro Transit Center, opened in June 2025, links the airport area with the K Line and the C Line. Los Angeles World Airports is building the SkyLink train to connect the terminals with Metro rail. For a solo traveler with a carry-on and time to spare, rail can work; an app ride is fine for a short hop at a quiet hour. When sessions end at the same moment and the whole room opens the same app, the car that is already waiting wins. See Uber Black vs a pre-booked chauffeur and chauffeur vs Uber and Lyft.
Before and after: Malibu, Orange County and beyond
Attendees who stay for the weekend often take the coast road. The signature Los Angeles day trip, eight hours to Malibu and the Pacific Coast Highway, costs from US$775 in a Business Sedan to US$1,550 in an Executive Sprinter; see private city tours.
Elly8.net also covers Orange County, Santa Barbara, San Diego, Palm Springs, Las Vegas and San Jose and Silicon Valley, and a city-to-city car service handles the long drives. More on the city is on our Los Angeles car service page. Flights and hotels can be booked with our travel partner BookingWorldwide.net; Elly8.net books the car.
