The Conference has as its focus global political and economic analysis, strategic planning, and the regional political and economic outlook.
We have no ideological bias - our panels of experts are gathered to lead seminar discussions with a range of views. The aim is to provoke thought and discussion (much the same as an Oxford tutorial) and lateral thinking for strategic planners.
An opinion-forming elite drawn from academia, the international corporate sector, international financial institutions, political risk analysts, investment analysts, asset managers and multilateral agencies: that is, senior executives with an international or regional focus to their work. The attendance at the Conference is limited to approximately 120 participants. You can expect to meet:
Fifty to sixty senior international relations experts as panellists, covering all regions of the globe. These experts not only write for Oxford Analytica but hold key posts in academia and other institutions. They are thus powerful analysts and opinion formers on an international level.
The typical attendee from the corporate sector will be at the level of Senior Vice-President, Chairman and Chief Executive, Global Director of Strategy, Chief Economist, or Head of Political Risk. Forty percent will come from the USA, thirty percent from the UK and continental Europe, and the remaining thirty percent from the rest of the world. Firms that have sent representatives include: Accenture, ABN AMRO, AIG, BHP Billiton, Boeing, Chevron Corporation, Citigroup, Deloitte, Deutsche Bank, Ernst & Young, Exxon Mobil, Fluor, General Electric, Mars, Merrill Lynch, Mitsui, Shell, Vodafone, Washington Group International.
