The World Turned Upside Down: Democracy, Disruption, and the New Global Order
The world order has fundamentally shifted. In this timely keynote, the Honourable Bob Rae examines the seismic forces reshaping global politics: the crisis of democracy, the weaponization of misinformation, the disruptive power of social media, the emergence of new global power centers, and more.
Drawing on his firsthand experience presiding over UN bodies and negotiating with world leaders throughout his five decades in politics and diplomacy, Rae identifies the trends that matter most to his audiences and explores their potential impact on how we live, work, and govern. He provides business leaders with a roadmap for navigating these changing tides -offering practical strategies to help build the future we need.
This evening will feature an address followed by an audience question and answer.
The Honourable Bob Rae brings over five decades of leadership at the highest levels of international diplomacy, national politics, and public policy. As Canada’s former Ambassador to the United Nations, Premier of Ontario, and interim Leader of the Liberal Party of Canada, he offers audiences rare insight into navigating complex global challenges, building consensus across divides, and leading through transformation. His keynotes draw on firsthand experience with humanitarian crises, negotiations with world leaders, and critical issues — delivered with the wisdom of a statesman and the accessibility of a natural storyteller.
