The conference will be held on four geographical stages - the Global Stage and three regional stages – United States Stage, European Stage (in London, Berlin, and Warsaw), and Asia/Pacific Stage (in New Delhi and Tokyo). Tickets are available starting 10 August at the BUSINESS INSIDER Global Trends Festival.

Mathias Döpfner, CEO of Axel Springer SE and ambassador of the BUSINESS INSIDER Global Trends Festival: “The good thing about crises is: They accelerate progress. Once the Covid-19 pandemic is over, nothing will be the same again. Whole industries are likely to vanish – but new ones will emerge. As will new ideas, a new way of working, and a new way of interacting. The BUSINESS INSIDER Global Trends Festival is the forum where scenarios for the upcoming years will be shared and discussed. And who would be better suited to bring together outstanding speakers and a variety of opinions on a global level than the world’s largest business news site BUSINESS INSIDER.”

Mark Dekan, CEO Ringier Axel Springer Media, and Publisher of BUSINESS INSIDER in Poland: “For us going online is an opportunity to go global. So I am proud that the conference, conceived and established in Poland, will this year go online as an outstanding global event. Seizing the opportunity presented by the Covid-19 crisis, we are launching what is set to become a highly respected international forum, spotlighting critical issues of the day and inspiring better global leadership. This year we are excited to welcome an array of exceptional personalities and visionaries from across the social, political and business spectrum with expert insights and thought leadership into how we can successfully navigate our future in a post-Covid world.”


Henry Blodget, cofounder, CEO, and Editorial Director of Insider, Inc., ambassador of the BUSINESS INSIDER Global Trends Festival: “For the global business community, now is a pivot point. Success or failure will be determined by the choices that need to be made to adjust to emerging new realities and a future that is uncertain, even as some trends appear more and more unstoppable. We’re proud of the Business Insider Poland team for spearheading such a timely discussion to shed some needed light on the challenges – and opportunities – now facing businesses in all parts of the globe.”


Mathias Döpfner and Henry Blodget are ambassadors of the conference. Previously the BUSINESS INSIDER Trends Festival took place in Warsaw, Poland, and featured 120 speakers from around the world. It attracted nearly 3,000 visitors from Poland and abroad.
