This session will open with a conversation with Heath Tarbert, Chairman and Chief Executive, US Commodity Futures Trading Commission, followed by a panel discussion.

While the short to medium term looks uncertain, investors are already trying to predict the next big thing. As the current crisis acts as a catalyst for underlying trends, pressure is on to identify the technologies and consumer behaviors likely to provide the biggest opportunities. With many counting on artificial intelligence, cryptocurrencies, and digital assets more broadly, how should investors go about gaining exposure? This discussion will also cover some of the lesser-known innovations with the potential to change the way we live.
