Aspen - GMF Bucharest Forum

The Aspen – GMF Bucharest Forum is a strategic convening at a multiregional intersection not only of geographies but also of economies and political spectrums. The Aspen – GMF Bucharest Forum offers a flagship public diplomacy event where global leaders engage with the Black Sea area and beyond, bridging Trans-Atlantic conversations and creating a process of reflection on the region and its impact within the international agendas.

Standing at a unique intersection of geographical, economic and socio – cultural crossroads, the Aspen – GMF Bucharest Forum is a key platform for engagement. A gateway between the West and the East, Romania and its region also bridge multiple geopolitical contexts and economic corridors at its North and South, East and West. 

As such, these will be reflected by the Aspen – GMF Bucharest Forum in a two-day program, built as an extraordinary public platform presenting an opportunity to interact with a wide range of stakeholders and facilitating otherwise highly complex dialogue, drawing on a long-standing tradition and expertise, with its first edition dating back to 2012. 

Building upon successful past editions, this year’s Aspen-GMF Bucharest Forum will reunite once more world-famous leaders, remarkable thinkers, policymakers, private and public sector experts, media representatives and journalists in a two-day conference consisting of various formats and engaging a diverse audience. 

A strategic platform for the EU, NATO, and Trans-Atlantic relations, the Aspen – GMF Bucharest Forum is geographically placed in the vortex of events and offers a unique opportunity for dialogue in a key geopolitical area of the world.
