The Atlantic Council launched this annual lecture series in 2005 to honor the memory of the Atlantic Council's former president, Christopher Makins. This event brings together European and American top minds and policymakers to discuss the state of the Atlantic partnership and its future direction. By providing a platform for discussion and by stimulating provocative discourse on the importance of the Atlantic alliance, the lecture carries on the heritage and vision of this extraordinary Atlanticist.

This year, join us for a conversation with David Miliband , president and CEO of the International Rescue Committee, moderated by David Ignatius of the Washington Post. He oversees the agency's relief and development operations in more than forty countries and its refugee resettlement and assistance programs throughout the United States.

From 2007 to 2010, he served as the youngest foreign secretary in three decades, driving advancements in human rights and representing the United Kingdom throughout the world.
