Enormous Challenges Create Tremendous Opportunities

Since 1995, the Fortune Global Forum^SM has been hosted by the editors of Fortune in great cities on the dynamic frontiers of global business. The Forum creates a valuable opportunity for the CEOs of the world’s biggest multinational companies to engage in discussions that not only identify best practices but also offer a common roadmap that addresses complex global issues. 

While some might say it is an incredibly exciting time to be a CEO, it is also a time that is fraught with new challenges coming faster than ever before. To thrive in an environment of what’s now called VUCA– volatility, uncertainty, complexity and ambiguity—leaders need to develop new ecosystems, road maps and partnerships to achieve their goals. 

Over the next twelve months, one third of the global population will go to the polls, potentially ushering in epochal changes in policy with ripple effects for trade, sustainability, innovation and growth. Multiple wars continue in contentious regions and companies – and countries – grapple with their ability to keep up with the AI revolution. So how should business leaders navigate these unprecedented times? And what will this year’s political cycle bring for business?

In 2024 we will gather for the first time in New York City, an international hub of business and finance. The Forum will feature the hallmarks of all Fortune live events: engaging content, impactful networking, meaningful takeaways, and the very best in curated activities, cuisine, and entertainment.

Topics of discussion will include:

• The business impact of the global election cycle
• Navigating corporate investments 
• Scaling generative AI for your business
• Advancing beyond ESG backlash
• Managing AI risks and regulation
• Staying ahead of the technology curve
• Next steps in the energy transition
