What to expect at a Boardwave dinner

The secret sauce to a really great networking dinner, is the calibre of people who are there to meet you, the quality of the discussion, which is interesting and thought provoking and finally the dining experience, whether its at a cool venue, or michelin star restaurant. If you bring all these things together everyone has a great time, learns a little and meets new friends and colleagues.

Navigating the Geopolitical Risks to Your Business

This crucial topic is especially relevant as business leaders frequently report significant risks to their boards, making efforts to quantify and mitigate each one as much as possible. The potential loss of our “strategic autonomy” and technological sovereignty, particularly in areas like AI and quantum technology, poses a significant threat. This might not be something we can entirely leave to the Government; the private sector also has a responsibility and an important role to play.

Join us for this VIP dinner where Phill Robinson (Co-Founder & CEO, Boardwave) will be in conversation with Rupert Jones (Strategic, Leadership and Boardroom advisor), who brings 30 years of experience in leading military and inter-agency teams both domestically and in international crises, from Sarajevo to Raqqah. His insights will set the stage for a deeper discussion over dinner before we delve into the strategic priorities you need to address to reshape the future of your business.

We will be exploring key issues such as:

Short Term Risks

Cyber Risk - GCHQ issues warning Feb 2024

Starlink and Internet access. Russia would have won the war but for Starlink.

Chip Supply, Sanctions. US controls everything.

AI Bad Actors, reach into public opinion, the breakdown of trust/democracy.

Mid Term Risks

Tech giants have a disproportionate influence.

Tech giants have a disproportionate influence technically.

The acceleration of Non-Manned warfare, infrastructure shut down, GPS, Utilities, Nuclear Power 

Long Term Risks
