Global economic stability, energy security, climate change, the rise of China and the resurgence of Russia on the world stage, conflicts in the Middle East and regional humanitarian crises are only some of the topics that will demand immediate attention from the new administration. Join us at our 63rd Annual Conference, as we gather with political leaders, policymakers, public intellectuals and diplomats to examine, engage and debate these crucial global issues at this turning point in US history.
