We are constantly improving and evolving with the industry to give you the best learning and networking opportunities. Here are all the new formats and themes we are introducing this year.

All the risks you cannot see

The official theme of IMpower 2023

This official theme for IMpower 2023 will cover all manner of risks you cannot see in the industry including global, corporate, operational, climate, reputational and more!

This year's agenda includes a host of sessions with expert speakers to delve deeper into these risks, how to navigate them and how to not only manage these risks, but thrive despite them.

Capital markets wargame – The Great Monetary System Reset

Workshop by by Brian Byrne, Professional Business War Game Designer and Partner, Assembler Growth Capital
Leaders, fund managers and allocators - what are the risks and how are you going to position your business for post-private crypto and fiat currency world?

Rethink Tank - Rethinking global macro risks: Understanding the real risks in today’s asset allocation

Moderated by Professor Amin Rajan
Risk can be managed with some pre-known probability of outcomes. Uncertainty is a shot in the dark. Events such a climate change, Covid and Ukraine war have no precedents – the so-called fat-tail events. They are driving investors in the realm of uncertainty. Building resilient portfolios is the key. All the crystal balls are broken. Asset allocation is much more about future scenarios and much less about past price behaviours.
