Global conflict is no longer something that happens elsewhere. It is reshaping the cost of energy, the reliability of supply chains, the price of food commodities and the complexity of trade compliance - and it is doing so in ways that touch businesses of every size and sector, including those right here in London.

This two-hour briefing, delivered by International Trade Matters, maps the eight most significant active conflict zones and high-tension areas in the world today, and traces the downstream effects across five critical sectors: trade and shipping, food and agriculture, energy, technology supply chains, and humanitarian systems.

It then examines the less visible but equally significant rise of non-tariff barriers - sanctions regimes, export controls, rules of origin changes and carbon border adjustments - that are adding a new layer of complexity to international trading relationships. The session is designed specifically for London businesses. It draws direct connections between global events and local exposure - and in London, that exposure runs deep.

Presented by: Christopher Tierney, Forward Deployed Engineer - AI Architect, Dell Technologies

AI doesn’t have to be complicated, expensive, or overwhelming, and it doesn’t require a complete business overhaul to deliver value.

In this 45-minute, live, demonstration-led webinar, Christopher Tierney from Dell Technologies, will show SMEs how to get started with AI in a practical, low-risk and cost-effective way, with a strong focus on knowledge transformation rather than technology transformation.

Through real examples and hands-on demonstrations, you’ll see how everyday AI tools can help teams save time, improve decision-making, and work more creatively, without requiring specialist skills or large budgets. We’ll explore how organisations can create the time, space, and permission for teams to learn, experiment and “play” with AI, building confidence and capability step by step.

This session is designed for business leaders, managers and teams who want to move beyond the hype and start building real AI capability by learning, testing, and evolving together.

A practical one-day course for marketing professionals, business leaders and entrepreneurs looking to use AI more effectively in marketing. Explore customer insight, automation, content generation, personalisation, campaign optimisation, data-driven decision-making, and responsible use of AI through practical tools and real-world applications.
