What started as a crisis has escalated rapidly into a full scale war in a very short time. The future of Europe, and maybe further afield, looks deeply uncertain. 

The impact of this conflict has a direct and immediate impact on the integrity of our political systems, our economies and, crucially, on the citizens of Ukraine and neighbouring states. With heads of state attempting diplomacy but so far failing, options are running out. Sanctions haven’t worked in the past so how will new sanctions make any difference? 

Markets do not like war and the situation is already further pressurising the price of energy. What steps do firms need to take to protect their interests and strive for growth in a post pandemic economy?

We work with a range of expert speakers who can offer analysis into the current crisis and provide insight into what might come next.
