Lady Gaga to join Dalai Lama at mayors' conference Sunday

The Dalai Lama will be making an appearance at the United States Conference of Mayors on Sunday, and it was announced Wednesday he would be joined by another celebrity.

Singer/songwriter and activist Lady Gaga will speak alongside the Dalai Lama after his keynote speech, in which he will focus on global kindness and how to better build compassionate cities through local activism.

Gaga will join the Dalai Lama for an onstage conversation following his presentation.

The Q&A will be moderated by journalist Ann Curry and will feature questions from mayors and young people.

“I am honored to be sitting down with the @Dalai Lama this Sunday to have a conversation about kindness to 300 of our important U.S. mayors,” Gaga tweeted Wednesday, and followed the short message with a peace-sign emoji.

Hilary Clinton will also be at the conference.

The conference Sunday will take place in the J.W. Marriot’s Grand Ballroom in Indianapolis.
