Economy Keynote

8:00 AM - 9:15 AM

World events intersect at your IDN. Perhaps no time in history have world events impacted your decisions more than they do today. Globalization, near-shoring, offshoring, tariffs, regional conflicts and other geopolitical risks are increasingly impacting the ability for IDNs to deliver optimal patient care.

During this Keynote, geopolitical strategist John Sitilides, a senior Fellow for National Security at the Foreign Policy Research Institute and a Diplomacy Consultant during President Trump’s first term, will probe recent events and their impact on global trade. John will outline global affairs priorities and strategies for the next four years, assessing the complex geopolitical and geo-economic decisions impacting your supply chains.

Learning Objectives:

1. Identify world events with the greatest impact on your IDN and its effective delivery of patient care during this period of volatility.

2. Investigate recent world events and their unique and nuanced impact on your supply chain.

3. List global affairs priorities and strategies influencing your supply chain through 2029.

4. Forecast future risks to your IDN and develop proactive resiliency strategies
