As political and policy decisions in Caracas begin to materially influence U.S. policy, regional stability, global energy markets, and private‑sector engagement, organizations with exposure to Venezuela and the broader Latin America region face heightened uncertainty.
Join Ankura and McLarty Associates for a timely executive briefing that convenes senior advisors and former policymakers with real‑time, on‑the‑ground insight to examine Venezuela’s rapidly evolving landscape. Moving beyond headlines, the discussion will focus on what has changed, why it matters now, and how near‑term decisions are likely to shape political, economic, and energy outcomes with direct relevance to business and investment strategy.
The session is designed to be practical and decision‑relevant, with focused analysis of U.S. policy dynamics, internal political developments, and sector‑specific implications for energy, security, risk, and private‑sector engagement, followed by a live audience question and answer (Q&A).
Key Topics Include:
- Venezuela’s internal political dynamics and regime stability
- U.S. policy considerations and regional spillover effects
- Energy, oil and gas, and critical minerals market implications
- Risk, security, insurance, and private‑sector engagement considerations
