Are you ready for what future politics will do to your business?

Are you ready for what geopolitics will do to your business? Join our exclusive round table on geopolitics, geo-economics & strategic risk and get clear answers to the questions shaping your financial strategy.

At an iconic setting, the Havenhuis Antwerpen, we are bringing together a select group of senior finance professionals for a high-level, closed-door round table.

We are living through a structural shift. Geopolitical tensions, shifting trade alliances, elections, conflicts, and economic fragmentation are no longer background noise, they are actively reshaping the business environment. What used to be predictable is now volatile. What used to be local is now global. And at the center of it all sits you and the finance function.

As you know, today’s CFOs and finance leaders are no longer just stewards of numbers, they are key players in:

  • strategic decision-making`

  • risk management

  • forward-looking scenario planning

The real question is no longer if geopolitics will impact your business, but how fast, how deep, and whether you are prepared.

A top-tier panel, built for real debate and new insights

This is not a traditional conference. This is a high-content, no-nonsense discussion featuring four leading voices:

  • Bart Van Craeynest – on macroeconomic trends and outlook

  • David Criekemans – on geopolitical strategy and international relations

  • Björn Soenens – on global political dynamics and power shifts

  • Rudy Aernoudt – on economic policy and structural challenges

Expect a sharp, thought-provoking exchange, where assumptions are challenged, scenarios are tested, and insights go beyond the obvious.

 

Your questions will shape the debate

What makes this session truly different: your input drives the conversation. Participants are invited to submit their questions, concerns, and real-life cases in advance. We ensure these are directly addressed during the round table.

Think about:

  • Translating geopolitical uncertainty into financial forecasts

  • Managing volatility in planning and budgeting

  • Understanding the impact of global fragmentation on your sector 

This is not a passive listening experience — it’s an interactive, high-level dialogue.

 

Why You Should Be in the Room

This event is intentionally limited in size and tailored to a senior finance audience.

 Which makes it a rare opportunity to:

  • Gain insights you won’t find in reports

  • Engage directly with top experts

  • Challenge your own strategic assumptions

  • Strengthen your ability to anticipate and act

In today’s environment, numbers alone are not enough. You need context, interpretation, and foresight.
