(Nassau, Bahamas) In an era marked by escalating global conflicts and shifting power dynamics, understanding the intricate landscape of international relations is more crucial than ever. The Annual RF Bahamas Economic Outlook conference, scheduled for March 12, 2025, at Baha Mar, offers a unique opportunity to gain insights from world-leading experts on these pressing issues.
This year's conference centres on the theme "Escalating Global Conflicts: Power Shifts, and Opportunities." As the modern world reaches a critical juncture, marked by conflicts and shifting power dynamics reshaping political, economic, and social structures, the conference aims to explore the challenges and opportunities arising from these dynamics. Attendees will gain insights into navigating the complexities of a rapidly changing global environment.
Among the distinguished speakers is Keynote Speaker, KT McFarland, former U.S. Deputy National Security Advisor, whose extensive experience and firsthand knowledge of global affairs make her perspectives invaluable in today's uncertain world.
McFarland's association with President Trump offers unique insights into the administration's foreign policy decisions and strategic priorities. Her perspectives are particularly valuable for understanding the "America First" approach and its implications on global alliances, trade agreements, and security partnerships. Attendees of the RF Economic Outlook 2025 conference will have the opportunity to hear McFarland discuss these topics, providing a nuanced understanding of past policies and their relevance to current global affairs.
The conference boasts a world-class lineup of speakers, each bringing a wealth of knowledge and experience.
