Reuters NEXT - the definitive live journalism series hosted by the world's largest and most trusted news agency - is making its APAC debut in Singapore on July 9, 2024. Reuters NEXT APAC will convene more than 300 leaders from business, government, NGOs, civil society, media, culture and academia in Singapore to address today's critical challenges.
