January 2026 Member Forum Call | Navigating 2026: Geopolitics, Regulation, and Technology in the Year Ahead
Every January, our community gathers to look ahead at the year’s most important developments across risk, technology, and regulation. In this session, our senior advisors will connect the dots between global events, AI and emerging technologies, and evolving (sometimes diverging) regulatory expectations. Attendees will learn what’s changing, what’s accelerating, and which early signals risk teams should track to stay proactive and resilient throughout the year.
