Here’s a glimpse of what’s in store:
Day One: Industry and Academia Convene (2nd Dec)
We begin the symposium with a day of engaging virtual sessions that bring together a global community of academics, practitioners, and thought leaders. Through keynotes, panels, and research presentations, we’ll explore five thematic areas designed to target the latest thinking in commercial and contract innovation.
Day Two: In-Person Hub (3rd Dec)
Our second day invites professionals and academics to connect in regional in-person hubs, hosted by leading academic institutions. Each hub will be given one of our five thematic areas to explore.
Day Three: Final Readout (4th Dec)
We conclude with a collective global readout, drawing together the key insights, themes, and outcomes from the in-person hubs. This final session offers a platform to reflect, share learnings, and identify opportunities for continued research, partnership, and impact.
This Symposium on Commercial Resilience was inspired by ideas and conversations with Professor Lisa Bernstein and is the latest in a series of events for which she has been the originator or a key contributor.
