The RF Group has announced that its 19th annual RF Economic Outlook Conference, featuring the theme Future Forces: World-Changing Ideas, will take place on 8 June at the Kimpton Seafire Resort + Spa.

Presenters include Dex Hunter-Torricke, communications executive for Facebook and Google; Keith Herman, innovative blockchain technology specialist; John Sitilides, geopolitical and geo-economic strategist; and Shawn Kanungo, disruptive innovation strategist.

Premier Wayne Panton will open the conference, which will also feature a digital currency-focussed panel discussion around regulatory and operational incentives, and the challenges for private sector organisations in blockchain and related technologies. The panel will be moderated by Tammi Sulliman, director of communications at Block.one.

“This year’s conference will explore such themes as the geopolitical forces impacting global powers, the future of work and hybrid work models, the future of investment and the rapidly expanding role of digital assets, and the future of technology and the emerging trends that will change how we live,” said RF Group President Michael Anderson in a press release.

“Over the last two years, the world has experienced unprecedented disruption in our day-to-day lives. Not only has the number of disrupted areas increased but the pace of change has been exponential. While these changes create significant risks, they also provide massive opportunities which we hope to highlight.”

The event will be hosted simultaneously across three regions – the Bahamas, Cayman Islands and the Eastern Caribbean – through a hybrid model. Anderson said the conference is appropriate for virtually all audiences.

“Whether you are government or business leaders, or simply individuals trying to create suitable strategies for the opportunities and risks that lie ahead, this year’s RF Economic Outlook promises to provide a full day of thought-provoking and exciting presentations that will leave you empowered to take on the future.”

Desmond Kinch, founder of Overseas Asset Management, a long-time sponsor of the conference, said in the release, “The world is undergoing rapid and seismic geopolitical changes that have entered the financial sphere. Sanctions and other financial restrictions are being used as weapons in these hot and cold war. We are particularly looking forward to John Sitilides sharing his views and analysis of this complicated interaction between world powers at this year’s event.”
