INTERVIEWS

Conversations with senior policymakers and business leaders, hosted by Reuters

These sessions are hosted by a Reuters journalist under the Trust Principles.

PANEL

Reuters Editors Briefing

A panel of expert Reuters correspondents discuss shifting influence in global politics, business, economies and markets, sharing insights directly from the frontline of major developments re-defining our world.

FIRESIDE CHAT

The coordinates of power

Understanding “where” is becoming as important as understanding “what” for governments and businesses working in a rapidly shifting technological environment. We explore how influence is shifting across regions, how capital is being deployed with greater precision, and how data is reshaping decision-making.

This session is in partnership with ESRI.

INTERVIEW

A conversation with a senior policymaker or leading financier, hosted by Reuters

This session is hosted by a Reuters journalist under the Trust Principles.

PANEL

Crypto grows up

From tokenized securities to blockchain-based payments, technologies once seen as speculative are increasingly becoming embedded in the infrastructure of financial markets. Which parts of the system are seeing durable and reliable change and where do the regulatory, economic and operational barriers remain? We discuss how incumbents are recalibrating and distributors are gaining an edge as digital assets mature.

This session is in partnership with an event sponsor.

FIRESIDE CHAT

The new risk landscape

As influence shifts, the signals are becoming harder to read and the stakes higher. How do leaders decode increasingly complex data, anticipate risk earlier and model a future that remains unsettled? We explore the tools - operational, strategic and technological – reshaping how risk is understood.

This session is in partnership with LSEG.

PANEL

The 2027 outlook: Power, capital and the race to shape what’s next

As power, capital and technology shift, the outlook for 2027 is increasingly unpredictable. From US growth and policy to AI’s market impact and the rise of new economic centers, the forces shaping the next phase of the global economy are converging. We speak with policymakers, investors and economists to assess where momentum is building, where risk is sharpening, and how decisions are being made under pressure.

This session is hosted by a Reuters journalist under the Trust Principles.

FIRESIDE CHAT

AI’s hardware horizon

AI is moving from code to concrete. How are companies building the physical, from next-generation devices to infrastructure and energy that power it over the next decade, and where will the rewards flow?

This session is in partnership with an event sponsor.

INTERVIEW

A conversation with a senior policymaker or leading financier, hosted by Reuters

This session is hosted by a Reuters journalist under the Trust Principles.

PANEL

The trust test: Brands, buyers and the new rules

The terms of engagement between consumers and corporations are shifting across sectors and markets. Inflation has strained spending power, AI and data are reshaping how brands connect, and platform dynamics are raising the stakes for visibility, pricing and accountability. Leading consumer goods firms explore what trust looks like now. With scrutiny intensifying and reputational downside accelerating, the space to get it wrong is shrinking. How are expectations changing, how are companies adapting, and where is credibility won or lost?

This session is hosted by a Reuters journalist under the Trust Principles.

PANEL

The flexibility equation: Re-architecting pay, purpose and priorities at work

A new dynamic is reshaping the workplace. Employees want more control over how they work, how they are paid and how decisions are made, forcing leaders to rethink the rules. How far can flexibility go before losing cohesion, accountability and financial discipline? We explore how companies are redrawing the balance between flexibility and control and what that means for the future of work.

This session is in partnership with DailyPay.

Show me the value: AI’s ROI moment

Leaders are under growing pressure to demonstrate clear economic returns from AI. How are businesses evaluating ROI and what differentiates AI deployments that drive margin expansion from those that add complexity without value? We explore where AI is already delivering tangible financial impact, where expectations need to be reset, and what it takes to turn AI investment into sustained competitive advantage.

PANEL

Lights, camera, algorithm: Who owns the creative future?

AI is reshaping Hollywood from script to screen by challenging how content is created, produced and finished. As studios experiment with generative tools, unresolved legal and ethical issues are moving to the center of the industry’s future. Who owns an AI generated performance? Who gets paid for it? How should likeness, voice, and creative style be protected? And are existing laws equipped to manage deepfakes and synthetic content?

This session is hosted by a Reuters journalist under the Trust Principles.

MASTERCLASS

The AI ROI challenge: Board meeting

Boards are demanding greater clarity on returns, accountability and impact. In this interactive session, participants will collectively assume the role of the board of a global enterprise one year into a major AI transformation. Armed with a board pack containing performance data, adoption metrics and business outcomes, attendees must determine whether the program is succeeding, which metrics matter most, and where future investment should be directed.

Join this session to:
• Participate in a live boardroom exercise and evaluate the success of an enterprise AI transformation program
• Explore practical approaches to measuring AI ROI across productivity, revenue growth, customer outcomes and operational efficiency
• Examine how leaders can align stakeholders around meaningful metrics and make informed decisions about scaling, refining or discontinuing AI initiatives

This session is in partnership with an event sponsor.

MASTERCLASS

Private capital's role in solving global challenges

Private capital is playing an increasingly important role in financing the infrastructure, innovation and businesses needed to address some of the world's biggest challenges. Through a live investment simulation, participants will allocate a hypothetical pool of capital across a range of opportunities. As market, geopolitical and societal developments unfold throughout the session, attendees will see how their investment decisions affect both financial outcomes and broader impact objectives, sparking discussion around the trade-offs, risks and opportunities facing today's allocators.

Join this session to:
• Examine how private capital is helping address major global challenges while generating long-term value
• Discuss how limited partners are balancing returns, resilience and impact in an increasingly complex investment environment
• Share perspectives on the evolving relationship between asset owners, fund managers and portfolio companies in driving long-term outcomes

This session is in partnership with an event sponsor.

MASTERCLASS

Building a pension fund for 2040

What should a pension portfolio look like if you were building it from scratch today for the world of 2040? During this session, the attendees will assume the role of an investment board reviewing a proposed 2040 pension fund strategy. Presented with an investment plan developed by a fictional portfolio management team, they will be asked to assess the strategy, challenge assumptions, identify potential blind spots and provide recommendations before deciding whether to approve the plan.

Join this session to:
• Explore the forces most likely to reshape institutional portfolios over the next 15 years
• Take part in a live investment committee exercise and evaluate a proposed pension fund strategy for 2040
• Challenge assumptions around asset allocation, risk, diversification and long-term value creation

This session is in partnership with an event sponsor.

CIRCLE

Assessing risk, resilience and returns in private credit

Private credit has become a core allocation for institutional investors, but the asset class is facing a more challenging environment as borrower pressures rise, refinancing risks increase and regulators intensify their scrutiny of valuations, leverage and liquidity. This discussion will explore how investors are evaluating risk, identifying opportunities and positioning portfolios for the next phase of private credit's evolution.

Invitation-only session held under the Chatham House Rule.

CIRCLE

Asset allocation for the next decade

The assumptions that shaped portfolios over the past decade may not be the ones that define the next. As investors reconsider long-held views on markets, risks and returns, a small number of allocation decisions will determine how portfolios evolve over the years ahead. This discussion will explore strategic asset allocation, portfolio construction, and the themes influencing long-term investing.

Invitation-only session held under the Chatham House Rule.

CIRCLE

Governing AI in the workforce: Balancing innovation and accountability

Leaders across industries are rapidly embedding AI into core workforce functions, from hiring and performance management to workforce planning and organisational restructuring. As adoption accelerates, they face mounting pressure to balance innovation, regulatory compliance, and employee trust. How are executives building the governance frameworks needed to deploy AI responsibly across the workforce while safeguarding fairness, accountability, and long-term organizational trust?

Invitation-only session held under the Chatham House Rule.

CIRCLE

The AI choices that quietly define enterprise outcomes

As AI moves from experimentation to core infrastructure, enterprises are making operating model decisions that quietly shape their long‑term trajectory. This roundtable will examine the choices that are difficult to reverse: build vs buy, centralized vs federated models, vendor dependencies, and architectural bets made under pressure.

Invitation-only session held under the Chatham House Rule.

CIRCLE

Women in leadership lunch: What moves careers forward?

Career progression often reflects a combination of performance, relationships, visibility, risk-taking, and access to opportunities. This discussion aims to identify the factors that truly accelerate career growth, from building influence to leveraging mentorship, sponsorship, and strategic networks.
