Sessions will include:

PUTTING THE PEDAL TO THE METAL: LEGISLATION’S SUPPORT OF THE NEW EV ERA
The greenhouse gases produced by cars are a key contributor to climate change. Proposed EPA regulations will require a major pivot - not just for the auto industry but for infrastructure as well. Will electric vehicles overshadow other forms of transportation? What are the additional issues to consider? EPA administrator Michael Regan discusses the agency’s ardent approach towards reducing auto emissions and accelerating our entry into the EV era.

TALES FROM THE FRONT LINE OF SUPPLY-CHAIN DECARBONIZATION
For many companies, the bulk of their carbon emissions comes not from their facilities but from their suppliers. Decarbonizing the supply chain is like peeling an onion; once one layer is done, another looms. The complexity is dizzying, and the lack of uniform carbon-accounting standards makes it difficult to ensure that the process is working. To effectively minimize carbon footprint, how can businesses mitigate errors, accurately measure success and maintain transparency?

THE U.S. ECONOMIC OUTLOOK

Just three years after corporations across the U.S. made wide-scale, public DE&amp;I commitments, the reversal of affirmative action, nationwide boycotts of brands supporting and promoting LGBTQIA+ rights, and widespread scrutiny of corporations’ ESG efforts, leaders at all levels find themselves navigating evolving expectations from stakeholders while also staying true to their values.

THE POST-PANDEMIC BOARD
<>Hosted by Heidrick &amp; Struggles
From AI and ESG to new SEC regulations around cybersecurity, today’s boards face a range of complex challenges. There’s also the issue of declining diversity: data shows that, in 2022, the share of new Fortune 500 board seats going to underrepresented groups dropped from the two previous years. How can boards build on diversity even as political and economic uncertainty leads priorities to shift? We hear from board directors in the trenches.

A WHOLE NEW WORLD: HOW TO EFFECTIVELY ENGAGE WITH GEN Z 
Gen Z has changed the way companies, political groups, and just about every organization out there interact with their audience. Why? Because of the way Gen Z views community and purpose. We’ll look at the evolution of engaging with this new generation, including how to build authentic communities and movements, and how to effectively connect with them across platforms. How is this generation consuming social content? How are they being activated? What do they care about? What constitutes meaningful IRL connections for them? Hear from a panel of experts as we tackle all of these questions—and more.

WOMEN AND PHILANTHROPY: BRIDGING DIVIDES 
Women are driving change across many sectors, and philanthropic efforts can be an effective vehicle to push for progress. But it’s not just about dollars, it’s about leadership—making sure these initiatives have the right leaders as advocates. Indeed, from investing in emerging female leaders to increasing the representation of women of color across the board, philanthropy combined with leadership can create opportunities and bridge long-standing divides. Who is driving these changes, and what can we all learn from them?

WOMEN AND PHILANTHROPY: BRIDGING DIVIDES 
Women are driving change across many sectors, and philanthropic efforts can be an effective vehicle to push for progress. But it’s not just about dollars, it’s about leadership—making sure these initiatives have the right leaders as advocates. Indeed, from investing in emerging female leaders to increasing the representation of women of color across the board, philanthropy combined with leadership can create opportunities and bridge long-standing divides. Who is driving these changes, and what can we all learn from them?

WOMEN AS WEALTH CREATORS

Hosted by Fidelity Investments
Over the next two decades, older Americans are projected to pass down trillions of dollars to younger generations in what has been dubbed “the great wealth transfer.” Women will receive a significant proportion of this money by 2030 they are expected to control $30 trillion in investable assets, almost a three-fold increase from today. What needs to happen for women as individuals, as working mothers, as business owners to make the most of this opportunity as the money moves into their hands? What impact will the increased engagement of women as investors have on both American families and the overall economy? How do companies, regardless of industry, need to change to better support women and help them thrive?

Hollywood has been through a tumultuous few months. The strikes by writers and actors are ongoing, but the hits keep on coming, proving that blockbuster movies are finally making a comeback (and that movie theaters might not be dead after all).

INDUSTRY TOURS  AND LOCAL EXPERIENCES

WELCOME FROM FORTUNE
Alan Murray, Chief Executive Officer, FORTUNE Media

WELCOME FROM ABU DHABI

A NEW ERA FOR BUSINESS
The combination of extraordinary advances in technology, an existential climate threat, volatile geopolitics, and unpredictable market conditions present business with a challenge in the next decade to turn unprecedented risk into unprecedented opportunity. How can companies take advantage of the rerouting of global economic ties and the reshaping of globalization as we’ve known it? And what are the implications for both business and society? In this opening session, we’ll set the table with what’s top of mind for every global CEO and assess how companies can navigate through uncertainty and keep pace with the seismic shifts reshaping the marketplace.

DRIVING FORWARD WITH DATA
When it comes to staying competitive, few brands out there know more about speed and beating all odds than McLaren Racing. Winner of 20 Formula 1 world championships and hundreds of Grand Prix competitions, McLaren has long been an example of expert data analytics and precision engineering, a skillset French pharma giant Sanofi is hoping to harness. Pharma and racing may seem like an unorthodox collaboration, but we’ll hear all about the power of partnerships and how data can be used to drive manufacturing lines into high gear, enhance performance, and improve the bottom line.
Zak Brown, Chief Executive Officer, McLaren Racing
Paul Hudson, Chief Executive Officer, Sanofi

CLIMATE INNOVATION SPOTLIGHT: TURNING CO2 INTO ROCK
While many technologies have been developed to capture CO2 from the atmosphere, eliminating tons of it cheaply and safely remains daunting. Meet one startup that is removing CO2 permanently by mineralizing it in peridotite, a rock found in abundance in Oman as well as in America, Europe, Asia and Australasia. Its goal: to have mineralized 1 billion tons of CO2 by 2040.
Talal Hasan, Founder and Carbon General, 44.01; Winner, 2022 Earthshot Prize

THE GLOBAL ENERGY TRANSITION
As the world outgrows its fossil fuel dependency, new forms of renewable energy are starting to take hold. It is estimated that global renewable-electricity capacity will rise more than 80% by 2026, compared with 2020 levels. What new innovations are needed to accelerate the move to clean energy and meet net-zero goals?

OPENING MAINSTAGE SESSIONS

RECEPTION AND DINNER

*These sessions will feature panel style discussions with extensive feedback and engagement from participants. Participants will select 1 of 4. 

CHINA’S OUTLOOK
A series of geopolitical hurdles, including the COVID-19 pandemic and the war in Ukraine, have slowed China’s meteoric rise on the world stage in recent years. Despite these challenges, China remains a critical engine in trade, innovation, and the global supply chain. Hear from CEOs of leading Chinese companies, investors, and experts with deep insight into China’s economic future, who will discuss the impact the country will have on global growth in the coming years.

SHIFTING MOMENTUM: A FUTURE BUILT WITH RENEWABLE ENERGY 
It is predicted that more than a third of the world’s electricity will come from renewable sources in 2025; however, global electricity demand is expected to rise by 3% per year until then. Will the sun, wind, and tides be enough to reduce our reliance on fossil fuels, especially in sectors like heating and transportation? What is needed to propel this energy shift and harness the full potential of renewables? Energy company executives and innovators leading the global shift from fossil fuels to renewables will share the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead as we look to a clean energy future.

THE JOURNEY TO INTELLIGENT MOBILITY
Mobility is entering a new era of innovation. While ride-sharing apps, data-driven traffic control, and real-time public transport updates are now the norm, how are disruptive trends such as electrification, climate change, and Mobility-as-a-Service influencing how we’ll move about the world in the future? In this session, we'll discuss the cutting-edge technologies propelling the next generation of mobility–from smart traffic grids and self-monitoring roads and highways to on-demand autonomous vehicles, connected rail networks, and micro-mobility services.

Trevor Neilson, Co-founder, Chairman and CEO, WasteFuel

 THE GLOBAL SKILLS GAP: SCALING HUMAN POTENTIAL
Some 100 million new jobs may emerge in the next two years, making the rapid reskilling of existing employees a priority for any organization. Furthermore, the widespread proliferation of AI tools across every aspect of society begs the question: How will this technology affect jobs? While human connection is irreplaceable, AI has the potential to take on repetitive, time-consuming tasks, leaving employees to focus on adding value to their organizations. How can business lead the way to a future of work where the power of AI and other new technologies can further unlock human potential at scale?
Thierry Delaporte, CEO and Managing Director, Wipro
Denis Machuel, Chief Executive Officer, Adecco Group

CHARTING THE COURSE FOR AI GOVERNANCE
The rapid proliferation of artificial intelligence across the globe is cause for both wonder and wariness. AI has the potential to expedite everything from medical diagnoses to manufacturing, but how can it be regulated to prevent misinformation, job displacement, and other possible risks? What legislation has already been put in place to safeguard AI, and is there a way to do so without fragmenting the global digital market? Hear more about the challenges of regulating artificial intelligence without stifling innovation or the incredible promise it holds for the future.

DEFENDING YOUR ENTERPRISE
By 2030, global spending on cybersecurity is expected to reach $433 billion–a necessary expenditure as data continues to be produced and stored at a rapid rate, increasing both a company’s connectivity and its vulnerability. This year alone, 340 million people globally have been impacted by data breaches, creating profound reputational, financial, and national security implications. What frameworks should be deployed to create cyber resilience in companies? For lessons, we might look to Israel, home to 1 out of 3 cybersecurity unicorns and a global hub for cybersecurity research. We’ll hear from two of the country’s top entrepreneurs and investors about the biggest trends in cybersecurity–from new threats on the horizon to the potential of AI to help defend against increasingly sophisticated and malicious actors.
Merav Bahat, Co-founder and CEO, Dazz
Nadav Zafrir, Co-founder and Managing Partner, Team8; Founder, Israel Defense Force Cyber Command

CHINA’S NEXT PHASE OF GROWTH
Despite becoming the biggest contributor to global GDP growth since the financial crisis, China is now facing a significant economic downturn. Faced with a decrease in trade and foreign investments, how are Chinese businesses pivoting and continuing to meet the evolving demands of Chinese consumers? An inside look at how Chinese market dynamics might play out across the global economy and how Chinese businesses remain resilient and continue to scale amid economic instability.

MASTERING COMPLEX FINANCIAL MARKETS  
Leaders of global investment firms share their insights on how to navigate the complexity of dynamic and fast-changing global markets in an era of uncertainty and rapid transformation. How are investors managing the implications of an economic decoupling of the West and China, pressures to respond to climate risk, rising inflation, and increased regulatory scrutiny? We’ll explore where the smart money is now–from the rise of new asset classes and emerging economies to technologies and platforms that will transform business. 
Jenny Johnson, President and CEO, Franklin Templeton 
Peter Orszag, Chief Executive Officer-elect, Lazard Asset Management 
HEALTH CARE’S BIG MOMENT 
The health sector is in the throes of a tech revolution: from robot-assisted surgery to cancer detection systems, artificial intelligence is helping to improve every step of the health care delivery process. By analyzing large amounts of data in real time, AI is also improving decision making, reducing bias, and creating more equitable outcomes in patient care. But are there any limits to the power of personalized medicine? What challenges and benefits can we expect from introducing more digital tools into global health care? 
Geoff Martha, Chairman and CEO, Medtronic 
Additional speaker to be announced
FUTURE-PROOFING GLOBAL REAL ESTATE 
At an estimated value of more than $300 trillion, land and real estate remains the world’s most valuable asset class and yet it is also the most exposed to climate change and demographic decline. How can businesses harness data to track trends in migration, climate change, and finance to know which locations will provide both resilience and profit in the future? We’ll take a closer look at how AI can be an essential tool in navigating both the headwinds of high interest rates, stagflation, aging demographics and climate risk and the tailwinds of growing demands for food and energy and new patterns of mass migration. 
Presenter: Dr. Parag Khanna, Founder and CEO, Climate Alpha; Founding and Managing Partner, FutureMap

DEFENDING YOUR ENTERPRISE 
By 2030, global spending on cybersecurity is expected to reach $433 billion–a necessary expenditure as data continues to be produced and stored at a rapid rate, increasing both a company’s connectivity and its vulnerability. This year alone, 340 million people globally have been impacted by data breaches, creating profound reputational, financial, and national security implications. What frameworks should be deployed to create cyber resilience in companies? For lessons, we might look to Israel, home to 1 out of 3 cybersecurity unicorns and a global hub for cybersecurity research. We’ll hear from two of the country’s top entrepreneurs and investors about the biggest trends in cybersecurity–from new threats on the horizon to the potential of AI to help defend against increasingly sophisticated and malicious actors.

CHINA’S NEXT PHASE OF GROWTH 
Despite becoming the biggest contributor to global GDP growth since the financial crisis, China is now facing a significant economic downturn. Faced with a decrease in trade and foreign investments, how are Chinese businesses pivoting and continuing to meet the evolving demands of Chinese consumers? An inside look at how Chinese market dynamics might play out across the global economy and how Chinese businesses remain resilient and continue to scale amid economic instability.

SOVEREIGN WEALTH AND SUSTAINABLE GROWTH
Sovereign wealth funds have quickly become important sources of capital and deal flow, with the ability to both drive domestic innovation and industrialization and significantly change the trajectory of state and global markets based on their investment decisions. Rising inflation, geopolitical tensions, digital transformation and climate risk are all greatly influencing current and future funding and allocation strategies. How are sovereign funds responding to these dynamic global forces, harnessing the potential of emerging markets, and mobilizing capital for change?
Dr. Ridha D. M. Wirakusumah, Chief Executive Officer, Indonesia Investment Authority

A NEW OUTLOOK FOR AFRICA
Home to more than 400 companies with revenues over $1 billion and a consumer market larger than India’s—Africa is on the precipice of a business boom. Its population is young and quick to adopt new technology, which makes the continent a bona fide breeding ground for large businesses and new growth markets. We’ll explore why multinational companies and investors are looking to Africa to generate returns and why African entrepreneurs have quickly become the key to the continent’s new global success.

MOST POWERFUL WOMEN BREAKFAST: ADVANCING THE GLOBAL CLIMATE AGENDA

BETTING ON A CHANGING WORLD ORDER 
Ray Dalio has been betting on what the future holds for more than 50 years, making him one of the most sought-after and most successful investors of our time. We’ll dig deeper into some of his big predictions for the coming decade–from which economies will rise and fall, to which technologies will lead the way. 
Ray Dalio, Founder, Bridgewater Associates 

REIMAGINING GLOBAL SUPPLY CHAINS AND MANUFACTURING 
Disruptive technologies, geopolitical shifts, the cost of energy, and the emergence of new consumer classes are reshaping global manufacturing and logistics. Add to this the rapid ascent of fast-growing nations like India, where talent and investment opportunities abound. We’ll hear how two iconic companies are accounting for these new dynamics by transforming the idea of traditional supply chains, identifying new sources for talent, and, in turn, enabling global industrial growth.

TECTONIC SHIFTS: GLOBALIZATION AND THE FUTURE OF TRADE

As geopolitical shifts give rise to a wave of decoupling, a new group of influential players are being ushered onto the global stage. The ascent of middle-power countries, such as India, Brazil, and Turkey, is putting middle-power governments in new roles as negotiators, major exporters, decision makers, and dealmakers. Where is new multilateralism forming and what impact will these alliances have on global trade, political pacts, and globalization?
H.E. Dr. Thani bin Ahmed Al Zeyoudi, Minister of State for Foreign Trade, Minister in Charge of Talent Attraction and Retention, UAE  
Additional speaker to be announced

CLIMATE INNOVATION SPOTLIGHT: FOOD, TRANSFORMED
Food imports account for 85% of the Gulf Cooperation Council’s domestic food needs, which is neither economically nor environmentally sustainable. Hear more about the growing agricultural technology revolution, where methods such as aquaponics and vertical farming are being deployed to help turn the desert into a powerhouse for food production.
Sky Kurtz, Founder and CEO, Pure Harvest Smart Farms

BEYOND SKYLINES: CITIES OF THE FUTURE
Urban areas are projected to be home to 70% of the global population by 2050. An increase in distributed work models, the need to address climate risk, and generational attitudes about work-life balance have also led to a significant transformation in how cities and communities are designed. While there is no one-size-fits-all model, many lessons can be learned from places like the UAE, which has built communities with both high tech and sustainability in mind. A conversation on urban evolution and the role that innovation, design, and entrepreneurship play in creating cleaner, greener, and more connected societies.

Additional speaker to be announced

BUILT TO LAST: REIMAGINING THE 21ST CENTURY COMPANY
There is no shortage of global trends that could fundamentally impact the direction of global companies in the decade to come–from the rapid advancement of AI to the decoupling of markets and the push for decarbonization across industries. Responding to these trends will require CEOs to make bold, long-term decisions amid uncertainty. We’ll explore some of the key questions every CEO needs to ask to ensure resiliency and prepare for the future. And we’ll learn how the world’s largest steel manufacturer—founded more than a century ago—was able to harness digital technologies to maximize value creation, drive sustainability, and remain competitive.

MOVING FROM COMMITMENT TO ACTION ON THE PATH TO NET ZERO 
Most global companies have already committed to net-zero gas emissions by 2050. However, for many organizations, this goal is not always accompanied by a concrete plan. How can leaders combine sustainability efforts with a focus on profit, and what benchmarks should companies be using to measure the progress of their climate goals? In this special roundtable in the lead-up to COP 28, we’ll hear from executives at the forefront of the march to net zero on what it means for companies to take meaningful steps toward addressing climate change.

GENERATIVE A.I. AND YOUR ENTERPRISE
Just two months after its launch earlier this year, ChatGPT had reached 100 million users, in a sign that generative AI has taken the world by storm. It has also become a key focus for all the major tech companies, who have rapidly implemented the technology to help streamline workflow, improve customer service, reduce errors, and revolutionize processes such as data collection. And yet, such benefits and gains are also accompanied by considerable risks. How can generative AI be deployed at scale without replicating human biases, compromising security, or promoting misinformation? We’ll discuss how to integrate generative AI in a way that is safe, transparent, and in line with company values.
