The Year Ahead

What Now? After the incredible disruptions of 2020, 2021 is shaping up to be a decade-defining year for global business. The Covid-19 pandemic and its devastating economic consequences profoundly changed the ways in which we live and work. With the vaccine roll out now beginning in some countries, contemplating the end of the pandemic at least seems possible. Now, business leaders, policy makers and thought leaders from around the world must chart a new path forward into a future that is both bright and uncertain. This January, Bloomberg convenes our eighth iteration of The Year Ahead Summit, our category-defining event that offers a 360-degree view of the most urgent topics facing every executive in the coming year. What will be the ultimate cost of the past year, and what lessons from 2020 will we carry into the new year to create a stronger, more resilient society? Can we rebuild our economies to be fairer, more inclusive? Join us as we explore these questions and more at The Year Ahead 2021.
