SINGAPORE (July 27, 2023) – Forbes Media today announced that it will hold its 21st Forbes Global CEO Conference in Singapore, from September 11 to 12, 2023.
Under the theme “Sea Change,” the conference will examine the economic transformation that is underway. The world is in reverse: deleveraging, decelerating and deglobalizing. It’s more than a pivot, it’s a global grinding of the gears as the world shifts to a new normal—or a new abnormal? The conference will gather insights from some 400 leading CEOs, thought leaders, entrepreneurs and investors as they chart new courses to ride the waves of sea change.
William Adamopoulos, CEO/Asia, Forbes Media, said: “With the global economy undergoing a sea change, it is an opportune time to host the 21st Forbes Global CEO Conference. We look forward to convening the Forbes community of business owners and leaders to share invaluable insights and ideas on how best to navigate this pivotal period of transformation and uncertainty.”
To date, some 40 speakers have confirmed their participation at the conference. Speakers will gather from around the world to share insights on topics such as the global economy, technology, innovation, AI and investment opportunities in sectors such as finance and venture capital, real estate, travel and tourism. Panels will also discuss best strategies for leadership, entrepreneurship, family business, philanthropy, ESG and sustainability.
