2023 Global Security Forum: Transatlantic Defense

The Global Security Forum is the CSIS International Security Program’s flagship annual conference. The Forum convenes leaders from the defense and national security communities to discuss the top security challenges facing the country and the world.  

This year's conference will feature a keynote address by Vice Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Admiral Christopher W. Grady. The full program will explore the evolving threat landscape given Russia’s war in Ukraine, challenges in European defense, and opportunities for transatlantic defense cooperation. 

There will be a specific focus on addressing the potential of collaboration with European allies to address challenges with munitions and other stockpiles, as well as interest in shaping the future force of tomorrow through technological modernization. 

The conference will be held on Wednesday, April 5, 2023, at CSIS headquarters and virtually, and will feature three panels in addition to the keynote discussion.
