External Forces and Trends
Review and 2022 Programme Launch
We will round off our 2021 programme with a brief look back over the past year and an optimistic, if realistic look forward to 2022.
The signs are that 2022 will be another year of surprises, seeing the confounding of long-held assumptions and the emergence of new threats and opportunities. But this is a time to draw breath.
Our speaker is Tom Newton-Dunn, Times Radio Presenter and Chief Political Commentator. Tom will provide us with insights and thoughts on the year past and signpost topics and trends for the one to come.
This stimulating and thought-provoking dinner will also see the launch of the PARC 2022 Programme.
