NATO Forum
The NATO Forum serves as the Euro-Atlantic community's premier venue for discussion, debate and analysis on issues relating to NATO and its future. The Forum features major public speeches from senior statesmen, roundtable strategy sessions with decision-makers and leading analysis from experts and practitioners from across the Atlantic on matters relating to the Alliance.
Senator Richard Lugar and NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen inaugurated the Forum in September 2009 with major policy speeches on the future of the Alliance and NATO's development of a new Strategic Concept. National Security Advisor Jim Jones, Atlantic Council Chairman Chuck Hagel and International Advisory Board Chairman Brent Scowcroft also participated in the Forum. The Forum will continue to highlight major leaders from across the Alliance as part of fostering a public debate about the future of NATO, as well as feature leading thought pieces, policy briefs and publications from prominent experts throughout 2010 and beyond, including members of the Atlantic Council's Strategic Advisors Group.
The NATO Forum is generously sponsored by BAE Systems.
