Geopolitical instability, energy market volatility and shifting commodity prices are creating new layers of risk for supply chain professionals. Join us for our popular State of Risk, an exclusive member webinar designed to move beyond the headlines and help you understand what these developments could mean for your organization.

Greg Brew from Eurasia Group will provide a high-level view of the evolving Middle East landscape, global energy markets and other macro trends shaping supply chain risk. Greg brings deep expertise in geopolitical risk, energy markets, Iran and the forces affecting global resource supply chains. Then, Tom Bundgaard, Vice President of Price Forecasting at Expana, will translate those broader developments into practical intelligence, using specific commodity cost examples and forecasts to illustrate where supply chain impacts may emerge.
