Hockey sticks and techtonic shifts—change happens gradually then all at once. Conventional models of leadership, business and entrepreneurship now face storms of transformations: new administrations and elections worldwide, geopolitical and trade tensions, volatile economic conditions, energy transitions, wildly accelerating tech—the list goes on. Amid this tumult, global leaders must jettison old assumptions and create new paradigms to move forward, survive and thrive.

Reframing The Global Economy

Reframing The Global Economy

Reframing The Global Economy

The economic cycle is sending mixed signals. Many of the world’s largest companies are cutting jobs even as stock prices reach new highs. Is this a retooling for future growth or a hedge against a possible slowing economy? Is recession yet to come, or can a soft landing be achieved? Free trade and investments are being cut back, geopolitical tensions are on the rise, globalization wanes, and half the world will be participating in elections this year. Looking into the not-too-distant future, demographic trends may cause the global population to decline and labor shortages to rise. This panel will offer new perspectives to make sense of the major changes reshaping the global community and global business.

Mastering The Markets

Mastering The Markets

Mastering The Markets

They say there is opportunity in crisis—but what about uncertainty? It’s hard to master the markets these days. There are plenty of changes that promise potential profits, such as shifting trade patterns and technology’s reinvention of most global industries. But it’s too easy to overpay amid investor hype, and too easy to bet wrong on borrowing costs. This panel will be a masterclass in finding and prospering off today’s uncertain and volatile investment conditions. Where are the best paths to 10x and even 20x returns?

Real Estate Gets Real

Real Estate Gets Real

Real Estate Gets Real

Getting it right on rates and demand is now a fine art. Recession fears are creating uncertainty in many sectors: Commercial real estate faces shrinking demand for office buildings and a glut of apartments. Lenders are skittish and prices are being reset as vacancies rise. Other sectors are shifting, such as housing, retail and logistics, towards the needs of urban areas. Meanwhile data centers, powering AI’s reach into business and society, are a generational trend. This panel will seek to find solid ground to prosper from property.

The Corner Office’s New View

The Corner Office’s New View

The Corner Office’s New View

Global leaders today must manage a multitude of challenges. They must grow their companies, embrace rapid changes in technology, stay ahead of global trends, uphold ethical standards, and retain and develop their staff amidst profound demographic change. They are being asked to take risks to develop the business yet still meet strict metrics on profits and performance. They must craft a sterling image both for themselves and their organizations with both internal and external stakeholders. A group of recognized leaders will delve into how to be the chief decision-maker in a transparent world where the corner office is often a fishbowl.

The Energy/Prosperity Paradox

The Energy/Prosperity Paradox

The Energy/Prosperity Paradox

Global population raced past 8 billion last year on its way to 10 billion by mid-century. Can these billions be fed, clothed, housed, educated and employed—and also enjoy healthcare and leisure to rising standards? The energy requirements will be immense. AI alone is the most energy-intense use of computation ever devised, and the AI era is only beginning. At the same time, climate-change policies strive to limit carbon energy, such as coal, oil and natural gas—which account for three quarters of today’s global energy supply. Can cleaner energy sources and applications step up and power tomorrow’s growth? Will nuclear, fusion and newer technologies meet the rising demand?

Bright Ideas Face New Realities

It’s always been risky to become an entrepreneur, and today those risks are greater. The pendulum that favors upstarts vs. large established companies has swung to the latter. Against such odds, what does it take to succeed? How do entrepreneurs transform their dreams into reality, and get a business off the ground amidst tough economic conditions and increasingly skeptical investors? What business plans are getting funded, and how is entrepreneurship evolving to meet today’s challenges? Those who have mastered the art of entrepreneurship will discuss the new realities of building a business.

Altruism In An Age Of Skepticism

Companies are being asked by various stakeholders to address new concerns that are outside the balance sheet. Movements like ESG and sustainability have been popular in recent years, but a new skepticism has arisen. It’s a good time to ask again: What is the role and responsibility of a company in the markets where it resides and operates? What should those ideals be and who decides them? Or is the pursuit of growth in sales and profits enough? Can advanced analytics like AI give ESG, sustainability and philanthropy more measurable results? This panel will offer some insights into what principles should guide a business.

It’s a tough time to be a startup. Unicorns are becoming more imaginary than real. Yet conditions are in a sense back to normal. With easy money gone, marginal ideas and “slide show entrepreneurs” are being replaced by more viable ones. Those that can profitably change the future will find the funding. Those already in the portfolio must prove themselves or face down rounds—or no round at all. A group of startup founders who proved their worth will offer some perspectives.
