missed our 10th anniversary in sydney?
The 10th Annual Sohn Hearts & Minds Conference marked our biggest year yet. Across the sessions, we explored American re-industrialisation, shifting energy dynamics, resilient business models, demographic tailwinds, and emerging opportunities in entertainment, construction, technology and global insurance markets. Presenters from around the world brought their most compelling ideas, from US steel and Finnish retail to Indian financial platforms, robotic-driven manufacturing and the strategic logic of gold in an age of geopolitical drift.
