Kharon
Global Summit
2023

Ensuring Compliance + Managing Risk in an Ever-Changing World

09 February 2023 | London

London Calling

Since we hosted the inaugural Kharon Global Summit in 2019, the world has changed tremendously. In turn, risk management and compliance have become increasingly complex, as the challenges we face continue to intensify. The convening of the second Kharon Global Summit is an important and timely response to these fast-evolving dynamics.

After the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, we continued to convene virtually with our community of thought leaders and practitioners. Over the past several years, Kharon has hosted more than 50 virtual programs — attracting tens of thousands of participants from over 100 countries. Our Brief articles and white papers — covering topics at the heart of financial crimes compliance, export controls, supply chain security, and sustainability — have been read by hundreds of thousands of stakeholders around the world.

We are excited to once again be able to bring our community together in person for the world’s premier discussion on topics at the intersection of global security and commerce. We look forward to welcoming you to London for a unique and highly impactful exchange of ideas as we collectively evaluate our current challenges and look to address what lies ahead.

A Look Back

Kharon's inaugural Global Summit in 2019 convened the world's leading thinkers, practitioners, and policymakers pertaining to sanctions and financial crime. Cross-cutting panels facilitated important conversations on the role of sanctions in global security, conflict, and human rights, while also accounting for commercial and compliance realities. Panels included views from top global CEOs, the architects and policymakers behind sanctions policy, and those responsible for building and leading risk management programs.
