GAMBICA is holding the next Economic and Political Update on 20th November 2018 in London, with interactive sessions from expert speakers on the current trends in the economic and political environment. The economic forecast is presented by Oxford Economics, with the political update from government representatives and expert guest speakers. On top of being a valuable input to your company strategic and budget planning process, it is also an excellent opportunity to network with other GAMBICA members from all four of our sectors.
