How current is the material, given how quickly these situations move?

Our economics and geopolitics speakers update their content close to the event date, often within days, so it reflects what's happening now, not a fixed deck.

Can you find an economist or analyst who explains things without jargon?

Yes. Several of our most booked economics speakers are broadcasters and journalists, skilled at making complex stories clear without losing the substance.

Do you have speakers who can connect global events to what it actually means for our industry?

This is the brief we get most in this category. Tell us your sector and the issue on your leadership team's mind and we'll match the right geopolitics or economics speaker.

How far in advance do we need to book, given how fast the news cycle moves?

Book the speaker early to secure the right person. The analysis itself is finalised close to the date so it stays current.

Can a speaker cover a specific region or issue in depth, rather than a general world tour?

Yes. Many of our geopolitics speakers have a specific area of depth, a region, a policy area, or a type of risk, rather than surface level coverage of everything.

Is this the right category if our audience is worried but not especially informed on the topic?

Yes. The best current affairs speakers build shared understanding first, then move into implications, so the session works either way.

Can a speaker give practical guidance on how leaders should be thinking about risk, not just an analysis of events?

Yes. Many of our economics and geopolitics speakers go beyond commentary into what it means for decision making and planning, which is usually what leadership audiences need most.

“

Half the room follows markets closely and half had never thought about it. This speaker held both. We left with a shared picture of the risks ahead, not just a news summary.
