New York: Join the GARP New York chapter as we bring together an unparalleled panel of leaders to share their insights on global challenges and how to proactively manage the impact of geopolitical risks ranging from regional conflict, diverging national interests and a plethora of regulatory regimes.  

These subject matter experts will lead a conversation as to how organizations can operate and deal with critical issues in light of economic trends and shifts in public policy . Conflicts in various regions necessitate the need for infrastructure to support reshaped global supply chains, while explosive growth of new technology, which already poses its own risks may be amplified by geopolitics. , The end result is likely the convergence of unprecedented risks. How can we as risk professionals best manage macroeconomic and regulatory impacts on the enterprise from an operational perspective? 

Registration is required as seats are limited. Priority will be given to GARP Individual Members.
