As the United States marks its 250th anniversary, the international order it championed for nearly eight decades has come under extraordinary pressure. All aspects of the US global role are under review, both at home and abroad. The choices this generation of global leaders make will be more consequential than ever, for businesses, workers, and leaders across the US, and for US partners and allies in Europe, Asia, and beyond.

The Council's America at 250 Global Forum will convene high-level policymakers, world-class scholars and experts, business leaders, and influential thought leaders to reflect on America’s past and inform its future. There is no more fitting place to convene as we examine global and geopolitical shifts, economic disruption, technological advances, and societal change. At this pivotal moment in America’s 250-year history, this forum will assess these forces to help inform the choices the next generation of leaders must make.
