Introduction:
The 34th Meeting of Minds – Advisory Distributor event took place on Thursday 24 November 2022. This document summarises the key issues raised in the topics discussed during the roundtables that took place.
The Meetings are Chatham House and thus participants are encouraged to speak openly and frankly and share insights and learning in the knowledge that any comments they might make will be non-attributable. Participants enjoyed access to strategic insight, active involvement in shaping the industry and networking at the highest level.
The Format:
This Meeting is a strategic forum organised on a biannual basis by Owen James. It brings together some 60 plus CEOs/Managing Directors - who are responsible for setting the business strategy of their organisations – and the CIOs/Heads of Investment - who set the overarching investment strategy for the organisation - for a blend of interactive roundtables addressing a carefully curated agenda, external keynotes and networking.
The Sponsors:
We would like to thank all our sponsors whose financial contribution enabled the Meeting to take place.
