UN General Assembly
(92 Speakers — Strategic Briefing | Moments of Influence Calendar | 08 –22 September 2026)
The Architecture of Global Reform and Multi-Level Governance
On 8 September 2026, the 81st Session of the UN General Assembly (UNGA 81) opens in New York City, marking a critical transition point for international diplomacy. With the high-level General Debate starting on 22 September, the 2026 session serves as the final diagnostic for the current UN leadership and a primary theatre for the 2026 Secretary-General selection process. For the C-suite, UNGA 81 is the definitive window to observe the recalibration of global trade, AI governance, and the "Social License to Operate" in a multipolar world.
At 92 Speakers, we provide the functional authority required to translate high-level diplomacy into a strategic roadmap for corporate leadership. We connect you with the architects of global policy who understand that in 2026, institutional resilience is built on a foundation of inclusive governance and ethical accountability.
The 92 Selection: Strategists of Global Influence
Our curated roster features the voices defining the future of multilateralism, economic stability, and human rights:
Ian Bremmer: Founder of Eurasia Group, Bremmer is the definitive voice on geopolitical risk. He provides boards with an authoritative roadmap for navigating 2026's "tipping point" risks, from the US political revolution to the "Donroe Doctrine," helping leaders anticipate the unwinding of the global order.
Nassim Nicholas Taleb: The author of The Black Swan, Taleb is a master of antifragile systems. His presence on stage offers a strategic diagnostic for "Collective Antifragility in the Age of AI," showing organisations how to separate wisdom from noise and build structures that thrive on volatility.
Mohamed El-Erian: Allianz Chief Economic Adviser, El-Erian is a premier authority on market volatility and the Fed. He deconstructs the emerging "anti-AI" investing themes and the global shift in interest rate regimes, providing the data required for boards to manage high-stakes financial transitions.
Mariana Mazzucato: A world-leading economist on innovation and public value, Mazzucato deconstructs the "Mission Economy." She provides the intellectual chemistry required to align corporate strategy with "Collective Value Creation," showing how the state and private sector can co-shape sustainable markets.
Lord David Cameron: Former UK Prime Minister and Foreign Secretary, Cameron offers a masterclass in geopolitical diplomacy. He provides a strategic diagnostic on the future of international alliances and foreign influence, equipping executives with the tools to navigate the complexities of modern statecraft.
Rory Stewart: A former Cabinet Minister and diplomat, Stewart is an expert in leadership under pressure. He offers a profound analysis of the "geopolitical forces of 2026," helping organisations navigate the intersection of conflict, climate change, and the erosion of institutional trust.
Malala Yousafzai: A Nobel Peace Prize laureate and advocate for human rights, Malala provides the strategic diagnostic on "Gender Apartheid" and global education. She deconstructs the barriers to justice, showing leaders how to move from passive sympathy to active accountability in global development.
Frank Gardner OBE: The BBC’s Security Correspondent, Gardner is a master of risk management and resilience. He offers a clinical look at international conflicts and security, providing the frameworks for "Leading Through Crisis" based on his unparalleled frontline experience.
The UNGA Mandate: From Diplomacy to the Boardroom
The 2026 UNGA opening offers a high-impact window for leadership accountability. When these experts are delivering keynotes, they equip your teams with the frameworks to master the next era of global competition:
Antifragile Governance: Implementing the "Taleb method" to ensure your organisation doesn't just survive shocks but gains strength from them.
Geopolitical De-risking: Applying Ian Bremmer’s top risks diagnostic to protect your assets in a fragmented global market through stronger regional intelligence.
Ethical Resilience: Leveraging the insights of Malala Yousafzai and Mariana Mazzucato to ensure your ESG strategy is a driver of genuine social impact and value creation.
In 2026, the most successful organisations are those that treat global diplomacy as a core business function—where understanding the UN mandate is a prerequisite for market dominance.
