TOPIC
The Year the World Votes: Regulatory Trends to Watch
A multi-industry panel discussion
2024 is not just an election year. It’s the election year, with at least 64 countries (plus the EU) holding national elections.
As Risk Managers, it’s important to stay abreast of what is and what may be coming our way, not just to our own industries, but the industries we serve.
Join us in this panel discussion with local business leaders across various industries to learn more about regulatory trends and watch items.
Next, we’ll dive into approaches to identifying and monitoring regulatory trends and managing the related risk, including the upside or opportunities.
Following a discussion around lessons learned and best practices in Enterprise Risk Management (ERM), we will open the floor to the audience for Q&A.
