G20 Summit 2026
(92 Speakers — Strategic Briefing | Moments of Influence Calendar)
The Signals Behind the Headlines
On 14–15 December 2026, global leaders gather in Miami for the 2026 G20 Summit, a defining moment for the international business calendar. Hosted at Trump National Doral, this summit marks a pivot toward economic nationalism and the "America First" agenda. By this stage, the year’s core themes are already in motion. The G20 doesn’t introduce them; it signals where they are heading next.
What to Watch
This year’s summit sits at the intersection of:
The Middle East Crisis: Escalating regional war, focusing on the Strait of Hormuz and global oil supply shocks.
US–China Power Dynamics: Decoupling and trade sovereignty.
Economic Nationalism: The end of the traditional multilateral era and the rise of protectionism.
Fiscal Pressure: Debt stability and global inflation cycles.
AI Governance: The race for technological and regulatory dominance.
The Thinking Behind It
Navigating the G20 requires more than just reading the communiqué. It requires an expert lens to decode the geopolitical shift from the Global South back to Western-led trade priorities.
The right speakers bring clarity when delivering keynotes on these complex shifts:
Dr Roy Casagranda: The Middle East, historical power structures, and the "unraveling of Pax Americana".
Niall Ferguson: Fragmentation and US–China tension.
Peter Frankopan: New silk roads and the shift of influence eastwards.
David Miliband: Geopolitical risk and multilateral strain.
Vicky Pryce: Inflation, growth outlook, and fiscal pressure.
Azeem Azhar: AI’s impact on the future of work and global economies.
Beatrice Weder di Mauro: Sovereign debt and global financial stability.
Why It Matters
The G20 lands at a critical point, after a year of economic movement and just before the 2027 fiscal cycle. This is where the signals sharpen on stage: what is aligning, what is fragmenting, and what your organisation must prepare for.
