Brexit and the Domino Effect: What to Expect In the Year Ahead
Matthew Bishop, Mark Blyth, Nicholas Candy, Jim Mellon, Howard Shore, Janet Thomas, Nick Candy, Peter Mandelson
Prominent financial experts and political analysts convened to debate the economic and political trajectories of Brexit, forecasting a contentious two-year negotiation process dominated by the UK, German, and French governments. The panel presented sharply divergent views on the outcome, ranging from Howard Shaw's prediction of a last-minute "patchwork" deal and Jim Mellon's proposal for unilateral deregulation to Janet Thomas and Peter Mandelson's warnings of severe financial sector migration and long-term economic decline. While consensus emerged that Theresa May would strengthen her domestic position, deep disagreements persisted regarding the stability of the Eurozone, the viability of open borders, and whether the depreciated pound represents a necessary correction or a threat to low-income households.

The Impact Investing Summit
Matthew Bishop, Lisa Ashford, Mark Campanale, Mark Goldring, Lutfey Siddiqi, Matthew Spencer, Tristram Stewart, Rod Schwartz, Arthur Wood, Mel Tam
In an Oxford-style debate regarding the primary agent for climate action, Lisa Ashford and Mark Campanali argued that investors and bankers can bypass political inertia to drive rapid decarbonization, while Matthew Spencer and colleagues contended that social movements and government policy are essential to establish the regulatory frameworks that make green investment viable. Despite pro-market arguments citing market failures and capital efficiency, the opposition team successfully countered by highlighting historical precedents where moral pressure and state intervention preceded financial shifts. Ultimately, the side opposing the motion won by persuading the audience to view political and social activism as the necessary "generals" that guide the "cavalry" of private capital.

The Health of Nations: Meeting the Sustainable Development Goals
Matthew Bishop, David Barash, Stefano Bertozzi, Deborah Birx, Jacqueline Shea
A panel of global health experts and industry leaders convened to evaluate the gap between current Social Progress Index trajectories and the ambitious targets set by the UN Sustainable Development Goals. The discussion highlighted critical failures in data granularity, vaccine development funding, and the unique health crises facing high-income nations like the United States. Experts concluded that achieving these goals requires a strategic pivot from charity-based models to shared-value ecosystems driven by granular data, impact investing, and cross-sector innovation.

Investing for Impact: What's in Your Portfolio?
Matthew Bishop, Michael Schlein, Tracy, David Kwong, Robb Boydston, John Hempton, Alex Friedman, Sean Green
A high-level panel of industry leaders, including Jean Case and Michael Schlein, convened to define impact investing as a scalable economic driver capable of delivering market-rate returns while solving systemic social problems like poverty and recidivism. The discussion highlighted the rapid evolution of financial instruments such as Social Impact Bonds and microfinance, citing successful pilots like the New York reentry program and the Husk Power Systems project in India as proof that private capital can effectively absorb risk to generate public good. With support from the G8 Task Force and major financial institutions like Goldman Sachs, the sector is poised for a tipping point where standardized measurement and policy reforms will integrate social solutions into mainstream capital markets.
