His keynote was considered the highlight of the conference by many, including one attendee who noted, “I really enjoyed Monday’s sessions, especially Ian Bremmer.” Bremmer’s insights contained actionable information for advisors and helped increase broader geopolitical awareness among the audience.
Geopolitics Remains Top of Mind
As the next Exchange approaches, geopolitics remains a critical topic for investors. With multiple wars and widespread uncertainty around the world, investors need to understand the risks and opportunities around them.
Members of The Exchange Advisor Council have noted that global unrest is one of the main topics of concern for clients. Keynote speakers such as Bremmer have also been big drivers of conference attendance, with almost 70% of attendees indicating they were a critical component in the decision to attend.
