The summit will focus on the challenges, opportunities and changes that will move our society and economy forward.
Participants will discuss ways in which companies, institutions, government and individuals around the world can best position themselves for 2020 and beyond.
Sarah O’Carroll, editor-in-chief Yahoo Finance ANZ, and her U.S. counterpart, Andy Serwer, will moderate the event, hosting a wide variety of discussions on five key themes: global economic headwinds facing Australia, the future of work, interruption & transformation, consumer behaviour in a digital age, and the billion dollar opportunities we need to think about.
Launched in 2017, the All Markets Summit is Yahoo Finance’s first-ever conference franchise previously held exclusively in New York. Given the success in the U.S., the All Markets Summit will expand to Asia-Pacific this year (Sydney, 26 September).
