Day 2 | Thursday 15th April

10:00 AM The Conviction Test: The big macro calls: Which megatrends will reshape markets in 2027-28, and where do the house views disagree?

From the AI buildout to geopolitical fragmentation, a handful of megatrends now set the direction for markets. This keynote puts chief economists and strategists from leading asset managers on stage to say which matter most, and tests their views against each other and the room.
You vote live on a series of statements, then each panellist agrees or opposes and defends their position. The statements are set closer to the event, so they reflect the forces driving markets in April.

Check out the incredible speaker line-up to see who will be joining Christian.
