Recent developments with Russia, China, and other global risk topics have created new challenges for international commerce and investment-making the Kharon Summit a timely and much-needed exchange of ideas.
Highlights from the forum included:
- Why the C-Suite and board rooms are optimistic, despite uncertainty and emerging risks
- The increasingly important role of utilizing data, analytics, and artificial intelligence in risk management
- Key objectives of policymakers from both sides of the Atlantic as they work to address global conflict, illicit finance, corruption, and human rights issues
"The Kharon Global Summit is the only gathering in the world that brings together influential C-level executives and risk management leadership with current and former policymakers for a focused dialogue on global risk. Our objective with these gatherings is to create the essential forum for the global business community to establish best practices and enable value creation amidst an increasingly complex external operating environment," said Kharon CEO and Chairman Matthew Epstein. "Ultimately, illicit finance and other sources of external risk aren't limited by borders, which is why it takes global perspective, insight, and coordination to stay on the cutting edge of risk management. That's why we believe these events are so important, and why they're a natural extension of the work we do At Kharon."
