18 September: ICMA Future Leaders: Navigating Tariff Tensions - managing a career in finance through the ups and downs of global risk events
The current wave of change and uncertainty in capital and financial markets raises a number of questions about the future and the way forward for aspiring leaders, especially young professionals. The ongoing changes, recently driven by factors such as trade tariffs and tensions are not only changing the economic & financial landscape, but also job mobility.
This exclusive ICMA Future Leaders event is the starting point for trying to analyse and understand these changes and how they can affect your career or offer new opportunities. Join us to learn, connect and take the first step in shaping the future.
A networking reception will follow the formal proceedings.
