Annual Global Business Outlook

This new series, set to kick off November 29, 2023, promises to be an annual can’t-miss opportunity loaded with insights and exceptional networking opportunities. We anticipate attendance of 100 to 200 Global Minnesota corporate and individual members, as well as business professionals from the community, for the inaugural event. After a keynote walk-through of global business megatrends impacting Minnesota companies, a panel of international strategy experts from among Minnesota’s top Fortune 500 companies will offer insights on how to remain resilient – and in some cases seize opportunities – in the ever-changing landscapes of the global economy.
