WHERE: U.S. Chamber of Commerce (1615 H Street, NW, Washington, DC 20062)

Meridian will host our 15th annual Meridian Summit, a premier convening of global business executives, policymakers, and diplomats. The Summit this year will examine American influence and its role in shaping business and geopolitics. With over 250 curated attendees and a format built for candor, the Meridian Summit produces insights, relationships, and frameworks that endure long after the day ends.

As the United States marks the 250th anniversary of its founding — the Summit asks a defining question: What does American influence look like at 250, and who are the architects building it? We would be delighted to have you join the discussion.
