Future: Geoeconomics & The C-Suite 2026

Remapping European business in a fragmented world

Join us for a high-level, cross-functional, cross-industry event designed for senior executives navigating the intersection of geopolitics, economics, and enterprise strategy.

This unique gathering will convene Europe-based leaders from global companies to explore how multinational businesses are adapting to a new era of volatility, fractured alliances, and rising strategic risk.

Together, we’ll focus on enterprise-wide challenges such as: 

• Europe's Strategic Dilemmas Amid Global Conflicts
• Tariffs, Sanctions & Strategic Decoupling
• Defense Economies & Capital Allocation
• Geopolitical Risk & AI Integration
• Supply Chain Sovereignty & Resilience
• China, India, and the Rise of the G-Zero World
• Economic Competitiveness & Regulatory Fragmentation

What to Expect

Future: Geoeconomics & The C-Suite 2026 takes place over two days, with each day designed for a different type of engagement.

• Day 1 (Sept 30) is reserved for Member-only Council meetings. These small-group sessions provide a confidential space for senior leaders to exchange insights within their function. The day concludes with a private dinner for Members.
• Day 2 (Oct 1) is open to all registered participants and features interactive panels, case studies, and cross-functional networking.

Registration includes access to Day 2. If you are not yet a Member of The Conference Board, we have exceptionally opened a limited number of seats on Day 1, for senior leaders who are interested in experiencing a Council meeting first-hand. To explore this opportunity, please contact Claudia Pop-Cãlinescu at ccalinescu@tcb.org.
