Event Details

Multinationals have been put under enormous public pressure to react promptly, publicly, and without equivocation in response to the recent Russia-Ukraine crisis. Recent events—including new economic and financial sanctions at scale—have revealed the significant role of multinationals in shaping geopolitical agendas across the globe.

What are the trends to watch in the current crisis that will likely have the most lasting impacts to businesses in the Asia Pacific region? And what will be the role of communications for leaders of businesses and governments as we navigate a world transitioning from multilateralism to multistakeholderism?

Join us at AmCham for our in-person Fireside chat with Brad Staples, CEO of APCO Worldwide.
