    About The Event

    2021 is shaping up to be a decade-defining year for global business. What do the unprecedented disruptions of the past year mean for executives navigating the new normal? Across three days, Bloomberg will bring together leading CEOs from a wide array of industries -- retail, travel, finance, healthcare, technology and more -- and other global experts and influencers to map out a strategic blueprint for global business as the world’s economies recover from the pandemic in 2021 and beyond. Powered by the world’s largest newsroom and data-driven reporting, our program will offer clarity and perspective to the most pressing questions of the day. What will be the ultimate cost of the past year, and what lessons from 2020 will we carry into the new year to create a stronger, more resilient society? How much progress can we make in the fight against climate change? Can we rebuild our economies to be fairer, more inclusive? Join us as we explore these questions and more at The Year Ahead 2021.

    Themes

    Retail

    With the vaccine roll-out comes hope that people will once again be able to shop in person without fear. What does this mean for the future of e-commerce, brick and mortar and major brands?


    Real Estate

    As businesses large and small contemplate the last year, many are reconsidering how much office space is enough. What will commercial real estate look like in 2021? Also, a combination of low interest rates and a shortage of housing stock pushed home buying in the last half of 2020 to record levels. Will the housing market cool or will we continue to see prices rise?


    Entertainment

    It’s impossible to overstate the shift significant shift in the ways people have consumed content over the past year. With theaters empty, concert venues shuttered indefinitely, and cord cutting accelerating, what will 2021 hold for the biggest players, and most industrious upstarts, in entertainment?


    Geopolitics

    With a Joe Biden-Kamala Harris administration taking office, just how different will U.S. foreign and economic policy look? While "America First" will be banished and the U.S. will seek to return many of its erstwhile allies to its post-World War II embrace, some relationships will not easily be reset. Case in point: China.

    Private Equity

    The economic devastation of 2020 precipitated a large-scale fire sale and buyout activity reached record levels, even though PE firms were spending less on buyout targets. What will 2021 mean for private equity?


    Commodities

    There are reasons to be bullish about commodities in 2021, and many investors seem optimistic about a combination of a weak U.S. dollar and increased industrial demand. What will we see in terms of commodities in the next year and what will it mean for consumers?


    Automotive

    With Tesla pushing the entire industry forward, automotive companies have been forced to reckon with increased consumer demand for electric vehicles. But this push is hot on the heels of a pre-pandemic surge in buying of bigger, more fossil fuel-hungry vehicles. As we come out of the pandemic, will we see a return to pre-COVID appetites for gas-hungry SUVs? Or will EVs finally start gaining market share?


    Banking & Finance

    Unemployment skyrocketed among lower-income earners in 2020, but many of those in the upper economic tiers found their savings grow as their spending dropped. What does all this mean for the banking and finance industries in 2021?
