Fortune Global Forum 2019 | Fortune Live Media | 18 November 2019 | InterContinental Paris le Grand, 2 rue Scribe Paris 75009 France

The Fortune Global Forum has been hosted by the editors of Fortune in great cities on the dynamic frontiers of global business. This annual by-invitation-only meeting brings together the CEOs of the world’s biggest corporations–the Fortune Global 500–with innovators, builders, and other selected experts to explore the key issues shaping global business.

The 2019 program will unfold at a time when the role of business, especially multinational companies, is at a turning point. Globalization is under attack, and the power of business to address pressing social problems is being questioned.

At the same time, CEOS face technology-driven industry disruption, changing government policies, volatile markets, and new requirements for satisfying next generation employees and customers. The best companies are finding ways to turn these challenges into opportunities for renewal and growth.

We’ll explore opportunities to engage digital technologies like artificial intelligence, automation, and the cloud to transform products and processes; to promote clean energy and greater environmental stewardship, win the battle for current and future talent by dedicating resources to education and re-skilling and creating more equitable corporate cultures; and effectively navigate the power shifts occurring across financial markets, trade, and politics.
