The event’s agenda is centered around pressing issues such as the shifting world order, the need for an enduring alliance, and the future of the transatlantic relationship in this new geopolitical era.

Participants at the gathering are sharing strategies to defend democratic institutions and adapt to global realignments, highlighting the importance of cooperation and collaboration in today’s complex world.

The event boasts an impressive lineup of speakers, including former Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper, former Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko, former Croatia President Kolinda Grabar-Kitarović, and former Irish PM Enda Kenny.
