The World's on Fire. Is Your Risk Register Ready?

Event Details

A container ship gets stuck. A drone hits a refinery. An export ban lands on one category of chip.

None of it happens here. All of it reaches you, in your freight costs, your insurance premium, your payment rails, your inbox at 3am when a supplier goes quiet.

Mitzi Danielson-Kaslik spends her working life at the point where global politics turns into business risk. In 2025 she won the International Compliance Association's Outstanding Achievement Award in Anti Money Laundering, the youngest person ever to receive it, and the only winner from the Isle of Man.

She's coming to Launchpad for a lunch hour to talk about what's actually happening out there and how far it travels.

This is a briefing and a conversation, not a sales pitch and not a technical regulatory update. Come with questions.

What we'll get into:

The flashpoints that matter right now, and the ones that are noise Red Sea disruption: what it did to shipping, freight rates and inflation Russia and Ukraine: sanctions, cyber threats, energy security US and China: why Taiwan's chip industry is everybody's problem How events thousands of miles away reach businesses with no presence there at all What's worth watching over the next 6-12 months Who it's for:

Founders and business owners with any international exposure: supply chains, overseas suppliers, cross-border payments, cloud infrastructure. Also directly relevant to anyone in compliance, risk, governance, shipping, insurance or financial services.

Free to attend.

Hosted by Launchpad, the Isle of Man's Builder's Playground.
