About

We are in the age of disruption. The Global Disruption & Trends seminar is designed for leaders and practitioners who want to understand how to operate in a world where old assumptions no longer hold. Markets, technologies, environments, and societies are shifting at a pace that challenges conventional strategy.

Instead of treating disruption as a threat, the session looks at how to read it, respond to it, and turn it into direction - using systems thinking and macroeconomics as tools to gain perspective.

The program brings together forward-looking speakers on the forces shaping 2025 and beyond in various industries - from Real Estate to Education. We look at the emerging patterns that impact Vietnam from the outside, and the strategic mindset needed to stay resilient in uncertainty.
