Better Decisions for Sustainable Growth 18 – 19 March 2025
Today, businesses around the world are finding it harder than ever to make the right decisions. Overloaded by data and compounded by complexity and uncertainty, business leaders are looking for the insight and expertise they need to help their businesses prosper and grow.
Aon’s Global Credit Solutions Conference 2025 is taking place virtually on March 18-19, 2025 and will connect 1,000+ virtual attendees with global subject matter experts, industry thought leaders and senior decision-makers to discuss the credit solutions issues that are impacting our business world, giving you the enhanced clarity and confidence to make Better Decisions for Sustainable Growth.
This year’s agenda is action-packed with keynotes and interactive discussions focusing on topics, such as Risk Financing, Data and Analytics, Political Risk, and Surety. We will also have the always-popular Credit Solutions Market Outlook with senior insurance leaders looking at the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead in 2025.
International Journalist & Broadcaster Declan Curry will be Master of Ceremony for the event.
Keynote Speaker
Undoubtedly one of the greatest sprinters in the history of track and field, Michael Johnson has accomplished many firsts. He was the first man ever to be ranked #1 in the world at both 200 meters and 400 meters, the first man to win both events at an Olympic Games and the first man to win consecutive Olympic gold medals in the 400m. Johnson also broke the world record for 200m and 400m during his career and retired in 2000 with four Olympic gold medals and nine World Championship gold medals to his name.
In his session, Johnson will look at the parallels between elite athletics and business success. He will discuss how precision, resilience, and long-term strategy drive performance on the track and in the boardroom.
Keynote Speaker
Garry Kasparov came to international fame in 1985 when, at the age of 22, he became the youngest world chess champion in history. He successfully defended his title five times, including a legendary series of matches against arch-rival Anatoly Karpov. Kasparov’s famous matches against the IBM super-computer Deep Blue in 1996-97 were key to bringing artificial intelligence and chess into the mainstream.
In his session, Garry will discuss how strategic decision-making, calculated risks, and the pursuit of reward intersect in both chess and business leadership.
