The 2022 IoD Guernsey Convention will focus on how to navigate the ‘new order’ of geopolitical risk, protectionism and what this means for businesses and directors in Guernsey.
The event will take place on Thursday 6 October in the David Ferguson Hall at Beau Sejour.
The keynote speaker is Dr Wolfango Piccoli, co-founder and Director of Research at Teneo – an international CEO advisory firm.
Dr Piccoli is responsible for Teneo’s global political risk platform and leads the firm’s European analysis and advisory work. As a respected expert on international relations, Dr Piccoli is often invited to appear on major TV networks and is frequently quoted in the Financial Times, Bloomberg, and Reuters.
Wendy Dorey, Chair of the IoD Guernsey Branch, says that inflation fuelled by rising food and energy costs is presenting “exceptional challenges for directors”.
“I’m delighted to welcome Dr Piccoli as this year’s keynote speaker as we explore how Guernsey’s directors can navigate these risks, build resilience and future-proof their businesses,” she added.

A panel session discussing how boards must adapt to meet these future demands will also be held. Details of the panel will be published soon.
Ms Dorey added: “Our panel will discuss the changes directors should make to their boards today to engage key people within their business, tackle the challenges that lie ahead and make the necessary decisions to future-proof their business – and the Bailiwick.
“To help boards respond to the current challenges, we will also discuss youth activism and how directors need to nurture the next generation of leaders to help Guernsey secure its independence and resilience.”
Carey Olsen is the headline sponsor of the convention. Managing Partner, Russell Clark, said the Convention should be a “insightful and thought-provoking event”.
As well as the keynote speaker, dinner, and panel discussion, the evening’s schedule will also allow time for networking.
