Global Public Health Summit - Monday 8 February 2021

The COVID-19 pandemic has been a catalyst for change. As businesses around the world continue to adjust to the new normal and keep abreast of the rapidly changing rules and operational capabilities, business leaders have one eye on the future: How can we survive and thrive with this disease?

To bring some of these issues to light, Bird & Bird and Global Success Partnership are hosting this year’s Global Public Health Summit 2021 – a five day event series featuring senior business leaders, politicians, scholars and policymakers to discuss what’s next for businesses in the post-pandemic era.
