    Please note that there has been a room change for session 2026: Workers on the Front Lines of global Conflict: Economic Blockades and Business Retreats from Russia.

    This panel will explore the strategic, managerial, workforce, financial, economic, and political dimensions of companies exiting Russia after the Russian invasion of Ukraine, and this panel will analyze what these exits mean for stakeholders ranging from workers to investors. This discussion is made even more timely and salient given the ongoing economic pressure campaign against Russia amidst the continued conflict in Ukraine. Economic sanctions, voluntary business boycotts, and talent and capital outflows from Russia have made for a devastating economic blockade of the Putin regime by the private sector working in parallel with global governments. With new sanctions being implemented continually, including potentially secondary sanctions extending to neutral countries continuing trade with Russia, what this economic blockade means for companies, their workforces, and their investors will continue to dominate C-suite discussions, with workers having to balance the turbulence of newfound geopolitical volatility.
