Speaker and 2025 Programme Launch
KEYNOTE ADDRESS AND DINNER, IN-PERSON ONLY, LONDON
The end of 2024 will mark the mid-point of the 2020s. The decade started with unprecedented disruption, as a global pandemic upended the world economy, and it has continued in a similar vein, with the collapse of an international order that prevailed for three decades.
It is likely that the second half of the decade will be no less challenging, as working-age populations start to shrink, economic stagnation persists, climate events become more frequent and the colossal task of the Net Zero transition shifts from future horizon to current imperative.
This will be a time to take stock and to look ahead. Our guest speaker will provide us with a reflective analysis of the year past – and signpost key events in the year to come.
This highly-enjoyable and inspiring dinner event will also see the launch of the PARC 2025 Programme.

HMS Belfast, The Queen’s Walk, London SE1 2JH
