The headlines from this year’s G7 and NATO Summits focused on defence commitments, Ukraine and relations with China.

Geopolitics is now becoming one of the defining forces shaping strategy.  From defence investment and industrial resilience to AIenergy security, critical minerals and supply chains, the decisions taken by governments are increasingly influencing capital allocation, corporate planning and long-term growth.

It’s why geopolitical insight has become one of the fastest-growing themes at leadership conferences, board meetings and client events.

Whether you’re planning a conference, board retreat or executive briefing, these are some of the speakers helping organisations understand what comes next.
