Our two esteemed guest speakers will give us their insights as to how they feel the future world will look, now that the end of the pandemic appears to be in sight. Both speakers are renowned deep thinkers and modern day philosophers, who always have an alternative take on the world around us. Jim Power will take the lead with an economist’s perspective while John Looby will give us the Investment Management view of the future. This will be followed by a Q&A session kindly moderated by Monika Smatralova and Alan Bluett.
