Join the Emerging Threats Group’s Isabel Schulze Froning, BwConsulting’s Dr. Sebastian Seidel, Taskeen Ali of HM Revenue & Customs, and the OECD’s Joshua Polchar to explore soft power at the mid-point of the 2020s, in a special hybrid in-person & online session moderated by Dr. Matt Finch, Associate Fellow of the Saïd Business School and principal at mechanicaldolphin.com.

Ranging across sectors, the session will explore questions such as:

- How is the nature of soft power changing?

- What part are critical and emerging technologies playing in these changes?

- What is the role of soft power in 21st century geopolitical dynamics?

- What threats and opportunities might be emerging?

- Do we see ways in which changes in the soft power environment affect the changing character of armed conflict?
