Women in International Trade & Sanctions

• Regime Divergence — A strategic analysis of how EU, UK and US sanctions frameworks are drifting apart in scope, timing and legal architecture, and what this means for institutions operating across all three jurisdictions
• Operational Complexity — Understanding the compliance, licensing and reporting frictions created by fragmentation, including conflicting designations, varying evidentiary thresholds and inconsistent enforcement expectations
• Risk Recalibration — How leading organizations are reassessing exposure across supply chains, counterparties and financial flows as divergence accelerates and cross‑border risk mapping becomes more volatile

Join an interactive roundtable designed to bring senior leaders together for candid, peer‑level dialogue. These small‑group conversations create space for shared experience, practical insight, and real‑time problem‑solving on the issues that matter most to women navigating today’s complex professional landscape. Attendees can expect a confidential, high‑trust environment where perspectives are exchanged openly and connections deepen.

• Energy & Commodity Leverage — How sanctions on energy, metals and critical minerals are recalibrating global pricing power, rerouting trade flows and creating new chokepoints that senior leaders must anticipate in risk planning
