KUALA LUMPUR: More than 400 delegates from over 50 countries are expected to attend the 18th annual Global Citizenship Conference, which takes place from Nov 27 to 29 in Singapore. Hosted by Henley and Partners, this annual event has become the world’s largest and most significant conference on investment migration, bringing together presidents and prime ministers, other senior government ministers and officials, leading academics, top-tier private client advisors, wealth management professionals, and financial and business media.
According to BERNAMA News Agency, Henley and Partners Group Chairman Dr. Christian H. Kalin emphasizes the timely relevance of connecting across borders as global citizens. “Global citizenship, at its core, is the belief that we have responsibilities that extend beyond our own borders, to our communities and to the world as a whole. This conference seeks to broaden our perspectives through shared global learning, empowering us to drive meaningful change on both a local and a global
scale,” said Kalin.
The event will feature sophisticated content on the dynamics shaping the mobility options of wealthy families today. The conference will explore legal and economic developments, societal impacts relevant to global citizens, and trends in investment and wealth migration, along with regulatory and tax changes and the evolving concept of citizenship. Delegates will have the opportunity to engage with some of the world’s finest minds and latest ideas around global citizenship and interconnectivity, discovering how to harness the power of global mobility.
Moreover, legendary global investor and best-selling author Jim Rogers will offer his perspective on global financial trends. A conference highlight will be the 2024 Global Citizen Award Dinner on Nov 28, where a remarkable individual working to advance one of the global challenges affecting humanity today will be honoured. This year’s laureate will be announced at the gala event hosted in collaboration with the Swiss non-profit humanitarian
organisation Andan Foundation, which focuses on promoting the self-reliance of refugees through education, entrepreneurship, and employment, and to which the net proceeds of the evening will be donated.
