About this event
The NATO Public Forum is a public event jointly organized by NATO and a host-nation government, with civil society organizations. It occurs during the summit meetings of NATO members’ heads of state and government. This year, the NATO Public Forum is co-hosted by the alliance and the United States government. It will take place during the Washington, DC summit, in collaboration with GMF, the Atlantic Council, the Center for a New American Security (CNAS), GLOBSEC, and the Hudson Institute.
The Public Forum aims to promote a better public understanding of NATO policies and goals, and summit decisions, through dialogue and engagement with a unique and diverse group of stakeholders, from senior officials to international security experts, opinion-shapers, academics, journalists and young people. The forum comprises panel discussions, debates, and interactive sessions on topics on NATO’s agenda.
