The past few years have seen arguably the greatest degree of global upheaval since the second world war, with a global pandemic, the impact of climate change and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine all combining to create an environment of extreme uncertainty for business around the globe. This shows no sign of abating; the pending presidential election in the US, a growing swell of support for populism as seen by recent election results across the globe and recent events in Israel / Palestine will continue to have far-reaching impacts on global trade and commerce.

Whilst no crystal ball to see the future exists, this session will attempt to shine some light on what could potentially shape the remainder of 2024 and beyond – and in doing so, hopefully, allow you to start planning effectively in a world of continued turmoil.
