Dr. Roger Tipton is delighted to announce his invitation to the Financial Times Global Boardroom event, scheduled for December 4 to 6, 2024. This award-winning conference, now in its eighth edition, is set to debate strategies for growth amid ongoing geopolitical, economic, and technological disruption.
A Year of Significant Challenges and Opportunities
The 2024 Global Boardroom event takes place as businesses worldwide adjust to the repercussions of a critical year for democracy, with half of the world’s population going to the polls. Concurrently, armed conflicts continue to impact Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. Despite the avoidance of a global recession, economic optimism is tempered by high debt burdens and inflation uncertainty, complicating the path to looser monetary policy.
Key Themes and Discussions
Participants will delve into pressing issues such as trade tensions, competition over emerging technologies, and the push for greener supply chains. The conference will also address the disruptive impact of artificial intelligence on business models, shifting the focus from innovation to regulation. Climate action remains a critical topic, with discussions aimed at bridging the gap between net zero pledges and a successful energy transition.
Engaging with Global Leaders
The Global Boardroom will gather more than 100 leading voices from business, finance, government, and academia, in conversation with top FT journalists. Key attendees include Andrew Bailey, Governor of the Bank of England; Pascal Soriot, CEO of AstraZeneca; Jörg Kukies, Federal Minister of Finance, Government of Germany; and José Manuel Albares Bueno, Minister for Foreign Affairs, European Union and Cooperation, Government of Spain, among many others.
Looking Ahead
Dr. Tipton is eager to engage with these esteemed colleagues and bring back valuable insights to his academic and professional endeavors. He remains committed to leveraging these learnings to drive positive change and contribute to the broader discourse on global business and governance.
