How can the people of the Americas and non-state actors be more effectively engaged in the Summit of the Americas process to address emerging regional challenges?
With the thirtieth anniversary of the Summit of the Americas this December and the tenth such summit in the Dominican Republic next year, the Atlantic Council and US Department of State are convening a series of events to reflect on past experiences and identify how the summit process can best respond to emerging global challenges.
The next event in this series is taking place in Panama, which hosted the 2015 Summit of the Americas under the banner of “prosperity with equity,” seeking to promote hemispheric cooperation across people and businesses. Senior representatives from Panama, the United States, and other key regional stakeholders will address lessons learned and propose new strategies to strengthen and enhance cooperation among governments, business leaders, civil society, and young leaders.
The event will be held in Spanish, with virtual interpretation available in English.
