The World Turned Upside Down: Democracy, Disruption, and the New Global Order
The world order has fundamentally shifted. In this timely keynote, the Honourable Bob Rae examines the seismic forces reshaping global politics: the crisis of democracy, the weaponization of misinformation, the disruptive power of social media, the emergence of new global power centers, and more.
Drawing on his firsthand experience presiding over UN bodies and negotiating with world leaders throughout his five decades in politics and diplomacy, Rae identifies the trends that matter most to his audiences and explores their potential impact on how we live, work, and govern. He provides business leaders with a roadmap for navigating these changing tides -offering practical strategies to help build the future we need.
This evening will feature an address followed by an audience question and answer.
