About This Event

Please join us for a Young Professionals reception after the Council’s public event "East Meets West: Europe, Eurasia, and the Shifting Geopolitical Landscape." During the event, Alexander Cooley, Liana Fix, Rachel Rizzo, and Leslie Vinjamuri explore how the war in Ukraine is reshaping power dynamics across Europe, Eurasia, and the broader international order.

Afterwards, we invite you to join us for a special young professionals reception in our offices. YP members will have an opportunity to network and share ideas on how we might strengthen the program for the year ahead, as well as meet Rizzo and Fix and discuss the broader international order.

Please RSVP for the reception so that we may ensure your name is on file with our security desk. Space is limited.
