Reuters NEXT New York brings together the policymakers, CEOs, investors and innovators at the heart of reshaping our world. From the centre of global influence, we interpret a year defined by shifting influence across power, capital and technology - and set a course of action for the year ahead.
From changing geopolitical alliances and emerging new financial powers, to the acceleration of AI and the redrawing of global investment flows, Reuters NEXT tracks how influence is moving across systems and borders in an increasingly multipolar world, and how leaders are responding in real time.
In a world of tighter constraints and more consequential trade-offs, leadership is defined not by reaction, but by clarity - the ability to understand how influence is moving, where risk is concentrating, and how opportunity is emerging.
Join us at the centre of global influence — and be part of defining what comes next.
