Wide-angle view of a hybrid academic event hosted at the University of Exeter, showing a modern conference room with long tables arranged in a U-shape. Participants are seated on both sides, some taking notes and others using laptops, while a speaker stands at a central podium delivering a presentation displayed on a large screen behind him. Additional attendees observe from an adjacent glass-walled area. Branding for the Corporate Crime Observatory and the University of Exeter appears at the top of the image, with an on-screen label identifying the speaker as Costantino Grasso.
