When Geopolitics Hits the P&L: Redesigning Supply Chains for Structural Conflict

Wednesday 4 March 2026

6:30 PM GMT

Great Scotland Yard Hotel, London SW1A 2HN

Geopolitical instability is no longer an external risk to monitor; it is a structural force shaping cost, availability, and reliability across global value chains. Sanctions, export controls, financial restrictions, and resource nationalism are now deployed with full awareness of their downstream commercial impact.

Human Rights in The Supply Chain: From Obligation to Operational Discipline

Wednesday 15 July 2026

6:30 PM GMT

Great Scotland Yard Hotel, London SW1A 2HN

Human rights risk is no longer a reputational issue, it is an operational, legal, and strategic one. As enforcement intensifies and regulatory regimes expand across jurisdictions, organisations are being held accountable not only for their direct suppliers, but for conditions deep within their supply chains.

This forum examines how human rights due diligence must evolve from static policies and periodic audits to continuous, evidence-driven oversight. We will explore the structural realities of forced labor risk, the limitations of traditional compliance models, and the growing expectation that companies can demonstrate defensible action, not just intent.

For procurement, compliance, and executive leaders, the conversation will focus on what it takes to move from reactive remediation to proactive risk governance, embedding human rights intelligence into everyday supply chain decisions.

Breaking Chains: How Technology Leadership Separates the Prepared from the Exposed

Why some leaders see risk and disruption coming, and others explain it after the fact.

Wednesday 16 September 2026

6:30 PM GMT

Great Scotland Yard Hotel, London SW1A 2HN

Supply chain risk is no longer episodic. It compounds, accelerates, and shows up first in missed revenue, margin erosion, and customer failure, not in dashboards. If most organisations have supplier risk visibility and AI-enabled tools, why do some leaders protect revenue while others explain losses?

The agenda includes expert-led insights on:

Compounding Risk, Not Isolated Events; why static risk models fail under pressure.

From Supplier Monitoring to Revenue Protection; Why leading CPOs manage risk at the product, part, and material level, not the supplier level.

Why AI Risk Technologies Are Not Equal; The difference between AI that summarises and scores and AI that detects early signals, reduces noise, and improves prioritisation, and how that difference surfaces in cost, continuity, and margin.

Prioritisation When Everything is ‘High Risk’; How leaders decide what actually deserves action when multiple risks emerge simultaneously, and where human judgment still matters most.

What Breaks Next? How regulatory acceleration, geopolitical fragmentation, and embedded cyber risk are reshaping procurement risk requirements over the next 12–24 months.

The Rise of Autonomous Supply Chains

Wednesday 18 November 2026

6:30 PM GMT

Great Scotland Yard Hotel, London SW1A 2HN

Supply chains are entering a new phase, one where AI does more than surface insights. It recommends actions, executes workflows, and increasingly operates alongside human decision-makers. The shift toward autonomy promises speed and scale, but it also introduces new risks, new blind spots, and new responsibilities.

This forum explores what autonomous supply chains actually mean in practice. We will examine the cognitive dissonance leaders face when delegating judgment to machines, the emerging culture of rapid AI development (“vibe coding”), and the implications of AI-generated courses of action in high-stakes environments. We will also address the security and cyber risks that accompany automation, and the practical reality of the Pareto principle, where AI completes 80% of tasks effectively, but the remaining 20% still demands human oversight.

For supply chain, procurement, technology, and risk leaders, this discussion will focus on how to design autonomy deliberately balancing speed with control, augmentation with accountability, and innovation with defensibility.
