GIC College of Central Bankers Symposium Dinner

New York, NY | December 14, 2026

Join us on Dec. 14 as we kick off our exclusive, two-day symposium in New York. These events will convene former leaders of the world’s central banks to explore monetary policy in the context of the current geopolitical challenges. All dinner attendees are also invited to register for our Symposium on December 15 at Bloomberg.

Beyond AI: The Technologies That Will Shape the Next Decade

Keynote speaker: Mike Kuiken, Distinguished Visiting Fellow at Stanford University’s Hoover Institution and member of Anthropic’s National Security and Public Sector Advisory Council.

From semiconductors and artificial intelligence to biotechnology, advanced materials, and quantum computing, a new wave of innovation is beginning to reshape the foundations of economic growth and national power. What technologies will matter most? Where are the opportunities and vulnerabilities? How should policymakers, investors, and business leaders think about a world in which scientific breakthroughs increasingly drive economic competitiveness and geopolitical influence? Join us for a fireside chat with Mike Kuiken and Michael McKee, Political and Economic Correspondent with Bloomberg TV.
