With the lines between politics, economics, and technology increasingly blurred, understanding geopolitical developments is crucial for institutional success. Our distinguished speakers translate complexity into actionable intelligence, enabling organizations to seize opportunities, manage risk, and adapt to an ever-changing global landscape.

As former National Security Advisor and U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, John Bolton brings unparalleled insider knowledge to critical global challenges. His forthright assessments cut through diplomatic ambiguity to reveal the underlying dynamics of international security affairs. Throughout his distinguished career spanning multiple presidential administrations, Bolton has been a staunch defender of American interests in negotiations involving nuclear weapons programs, international security challenges, and human rights issues. As an advocate for principled American leadership on the global stage, he leverages his extensive diplomatic experience to provide audiences with incisive analysis on how geopolitical developments affect businesses, investors, and government policy.

Keynote topics include U.S. foreign policy, global security dynamics, and the intersection of business and international affairs.

Few individuals have shaped modern trade policy like Robert Lighthizer. As former U.S. Trade Representative, Lighthizer deconstructs complex trade relationships and forecasts developments that will reshape international commerce. His distinguished career spans decades of trade negotiations and litigation, including service as Deputy USTR under President Reagan and as Chief of Staff of the U.S. Senate Committee on Finance. With experience negotiating numerous bilateral and multilateral agreements across multiple administrations, Lighthizer brings historical perspective and practical insight to discussions of international trade dynamics, market access challenges, and the evolving global economic landscape.

Keynote topics include U.S.-China trade relations, global economic strategy, and the future of international trade agreements.

With experience as both President of the European Commission and Prime Minister of Portugal, José Manuel Barroso illuminates the European perspective on global affairs with authority and nuance. During his decade leading the Commission, he handled critical issues from the Treaty of Lisbon to the introduction of single market initiatives while managing the fallout from the financial crisis. Before his EU leadership, Barroso achieved remarkable diplomatic success as Portugal's Foreign Minister, driving an armistice in the Angolan civil war and playing a leading role in East Timor's independence from Indonesia.

Keynote topics include the future of the European Union, global governance, and striking geopolitical balance in a changing world.

As one of the world's preeminent scholars of international relations, Professor Mearsheimer challenges conventional wisdom with penetrating theoretical frameworks that explain the fundamental drivers of international behavior. His book "The Tragedy of Great Power Politics" won the Joseph Lepgold Book Prize, while "The Israel Lobby and U.S. Foreign Policy" became a New York Times bestseller and has been translated into twenty-four languages. In recognition of his exceptional contributions to political science, Mearsheimer was elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 2003 and received the prestigious James Madison Award from the American Political Science Association in 2020.

Key topics include great power politics, U.S. foreign policy, and the geopolitical impact of the Ukraine conflict.
