Vancouver Chapter: Macro Trends and Micro Decisions

February 24, 2026 6:00 PM - 8:30 PM (PST)

Description

Join Us for an Exclusive Discussion: Macro Trends and Micro Decisions!

The world is changing at an unprecedented pace. Decade-level shifts are happening in mere months. As business leaders, understanding these macro trends is important, but the real challenge lies in translating them into micro decisions we can act on within our organizations.

This session is your opportunity to engage in an interactive discussion with fellow leaders, exploring three critical macro themes shaping our business landscape:

1. Digital Sovereignty

Many leaders are asking: how sovereign are we digitally across data, infrastructure, and third-party risks? We’ll discuss the implications of digital dependencies and what sovereignty means for both countries and businesses.

How can we fortify our businesses against evolving digital vulnerabilities?

2. AI, Productivity, and Value

As AI reshapes industries, we need to understand where value is shifting. Zoho will share real lessons from its internal AI adoption journey, and we’ll discuss how leaders can apply these insights to drive practical productivity gains.

3. Jobs, Demographics, and the Future

The technological and demographic changes we face can be challenging. We’ll explore how to navigate these shifts with a practical and grounded approach that inspires our teams to adapt with confidence and optimism.
