2025 has been a year of seismic shifts in global politics, technology, and human rights - and 2026 promises to be just as transformative. In this thought-provoking session, Dr. Keith Suter, one of Australia’s leading futurists and international affairs experts, will unpack the major developments shaping our world and explore what lies ahead.
