Keynotes
Keynote by Speaker Ian Bremmer: Every Nation for Itself: Winners & Losers in a G-Zero World
At a time when so many challenges transcend borders, the need for international leadership has never been greater. Leaders have the leverage to coordinate multinational responses to transnational problems and the wealth and power to persuade other governments to take actions they wouldn’t otherwise take. They pick up the checks that others can’t afford and provide services no one else will pay for.
In years to come, there will be no global leadership, because there is now no single country or bloc of countries with the political and economic muscle to drive an international agenda. America is struggling to pay its bills, Europe is busy trying to save the eurozone, and emerging powers are wrestling with too many complex challenges at home to accept risks and burdens abroad.
A world without leaders will undermine our ability over the next decade to keep the peace in Asia and the Middle East, to grow the global economy, to reverse the impact of climate change, to feed growing populations, and to protect the most basic of all necessities—air, food, and water. Its effects will be felt in every region of the world, even in cyberspace.
Ian, an expert on international politics and its impact on global markets, will detail the following:
The impact of a world without leadership on international politics and the global economy.
Next challenges facing the United States.
Next challenges facing Europe.
Next challenges facing China and other emerging powers.
Asia’s evolving balance of power.
The future of the Middle East.
Winners and losers in a world without leaders.
Crisis points- from food security to cyberspace.
The global balance of power most likely to emerge from a G-Zero world.

Keynote by Speaker Ian Bremmer: The End of the Free Market: Who Wins the War Between States & Corporations?
A generation after communism’s collapse, the future of free market capitalism isn't what it used to be. Public wealth, public investment, and public ownership have made a stunning comeback. Certain that command economies are doomed to fail but afraid that truly free markets will spin beyond their control, the political leadership in China, Russia, the Arab monarchies of the Persian Gulf and other authoritarian states have invented a new system: state capitalism. Each in their own way, they’re using markets to create wealth that can be directed toward the achievement of political goals.
Governments now dominate key domestic economic sectors. The oil companies they own control three-quarters of the world’s crude oil reserves. They use state-owned companies to manipulate entire economic sectors and industries. They own enormous investment funds that have become vitally important sources of capital for Western governments and banks weakened by financial crisis.
An expert on the impact of politics on market performance, the sought-after speaker Ian Bremmer illustrates the rise of state capitalism and details its long-term threat to relations among nations and the future of the global economy.
In this presentation audiences will learn about:
The rise of state capitalism.
Why it exists and how it works.
The threat to free market capitalism.

Keynote by Speaker Ian Bremmer: The Rise of State Capitalism
The financial crisis and global recession hastened the transition from a G7 to a G20 world, one in which developing states that don't share US assumptions about the virtues of free market capitalism now have a seat at the international bargaining table. In fact, a generation after communism’s collapse, public wealth, public investment, and public ownership have made a stunning comeback. Certain that command economies are doomed to fail but afraid that truly free markets will spin beyond their control, the political leadership in China, Russia, the Arab monarchies of the Persian Gulf and other authoritarian states have invented a new system: state capitalism.

They use state-owned companies to manipulate entire economic sectors and industries. They own enormous investment funds that have become vitally important sources of capital for Western governments and banks weakened by financial crisis. The great 21st century challenge for America's leaders will be to adapt to changing circumstances in ways that extend that indispensability. To continue to lead in a world where states are overwhelmingly focused on domestic challenges, the United States must find ways to build partnerships with like-minded, willing, and able governments.

Keynote by Speaker Ian Bremmer: The Next Major Global Risk: Capitalism vs ?
The financial crisis and global recession hastened the transition from a G7 to a G20 world, and developing states that don't share Western assumptions about the virtues of free market capitalism now have a seat at the international bargaining table. In fact, a generation after communism’s collapse, public wealth, public investment, and public ownership have made a stunning comeback. What does this trend toward state-driven capitalism mean for CEOs trying to do business around the globe?
Keynote by Speaker Ian Bremmer: The Fat Tail: The Power of Political Knowledge for Strategic Investing
The fallout from the still-unfolding global financial crisis provides several perfect examples of "fat tail" risk, those that flow from the low-probability, high-impact events that generate upheaval more often than we think. Bremmer shares with audiences how an understanding of the political dynamics generated by the financial crisis helps us forecast market risks, why politics matter more than ever for market performance, why the world's wealthiest countries have begun to behave like emerging market states, and what all this means for investors and companies.
In this presentation audiences will learn:
The risks that flow from low-probability, high-impact events...like the global financial crisis.
Why politics matter more for the performance of markets and for issues ranging from defaults to nationalization to regulatory reforms.
Why developed states are behaving more like emerging markets.
The shift from New York, Shanghai, and Mumbai to Washington, Beijing, and Delhi—and the risks that this trend creates.

Keynote by Speaker Ian Bremmer: Managing Risk in an Unstable World

But do you look beyond reassuring data about per-capita income or economic growth--to assess the political risk of doing business in specific countries?

Acclaimed political analyst and entrepreneur, the keynote speaker Ian Bremmer explains that by blending political and economic risk analysis, you make savvier investment decisions--seizing valuable opportunities around the globe while avoiding danger zones.
In this presentation audiences will learn:
How to spot political risk on the horizon and balance it against economic opportunities—and what it means for your global investments.
