Global Business Forum kicks off in Banff, Alta., under theme ‘thriving in chaos’
Sessions will cover global security, Canada-U.S. relations and artificial intelligence as the annual forum enters its 27th year, organizers said.
On Thursday, the 27th annual Global Business Forum opened at the Banff Springs Hotel in the Rocky Mountains, gathering leaders to discuss global security, artificial intelligence, and Canada-U relations.
The Global Business Forum adopted the theme 'thriving in chaos,' contrasting its serene alpine setting with the volatile international landscape participants are analyzing.
Speakers include Artemis astronaut Jeremy Hansen, United States Kirsten Hillman, and Alaska Governor Mike Dunleavy, providing diverse perspectives on geopolitical and technological shifts.
Executives from Shell Canada, Canadian National Railway, and Telus Corp. are sharing strategic insights on navigating economic and security challenges facing their industries.
Co-Chair Lois Mitchell, a former Alberta lieutenant-governor, noted that participants have rarely witnessed such turmoil and rupture in the international order, setting a serious tone for stability discussions.
