Patrick L Young is well known as a keynote speaker and chairman of events in all aspects of financial markets. Many will know him from his dynamic chairing of the “Crossfire” sessions which were held while the Burgenstock Conference was still alive, or in recent years from his performances at various Exchange Fora and as the founding Chairman of the Global Financial Services Centres Conference.

• United States of America: From speaking at various B2B and internet conferences in the 1990’s to the present, I have enjoyed giving speeches in many US cities including Boston, Chicago, New York, San Francisco and at various other events in resorts etc for a broad range of conference organisers and investors.

 

Additionally, I have spoken at private events on all manner of topics throughout the world in a vast range of spectacular and intriguing venues from the Gleneagles golf course, the Cabinet War Rooms and the Manchester United football ground in the UK to the likes of a former prison in Sydney and some remarkable resorts throughout the world.

My current key speaking themes revolve around bringing capital markets to life – discussing any aspect of new markets, development, the opportunities and pitfalls and can be pitched to general or practitioner audiences and even for after dinner occasions I will happily discuss finance, markets, business travel and globalisation as well as many other subjects…

Some of my key topics of the moment include:

1. “A World of Opportunity – Looking to the future…
2. “The New Europe – Tales of Emerging Market Opportunity”
3. “”The Capital Market Revolution!” – Ten Years On”
4. “The Future of Financial Centres”
5. “The Gathering Storm: The Mess We’re In and Where Markets May Go Next”
