About this Event
Join the Institute for Global Leadership for the 2026 international symposium: Risk and Resilience in an Uncertain World. Discussions will focus on critical issues that challenge today’s leaders, including the future of Artificial Intelligence and ethics, control and accountability; the U.S.-Russia-China relationship and changing geopolitics; food insecurity and climate resilience; the revived threat of nuclear proliferation; the ability or inability of international institutions to meet the moment; and the impact that history continues to have on the present. We anticipate provocative and informed exchanges.
All are welcome. Registration required.
