Overview

The 19th Global Risks Report highlights a new era of interconnected and simultaneous threats that businesses and governments face. Against a backdrop of rapid technological change, economic uncertainty, a warming planet, and conflict, the report emphasises the ongoing implications for your business community. As cooperation faces pressure, weakened economies and societies may be vulnerable to even the smallest shock that could push them beyond the tipping point of resilience.
Produced annually by Marsh McLennan and the World Economic Forum, this international agenda-setting report surveys over 1,400 executives, experts, and leaders globally.

We are excited to invite you to an exclusive briefing hosted by Marsh and featuring Toni Ferrier, CEO Marsh McLennan NZ, along with keynote speaker David Bidmead, Executive Chairman of Marsh McLennan Pacific. Gain valuable insights on how to prioritise your risk strategies in the face of top macroeconomic risks, including geopolitical tensions, economic instability, climate change, technological disruptions, and cybersecurity threats.

Prompt registration is recommended as places are strictly limited.

A working lunch is provided.
