ASHINGTON, DC — July 8, 2024: Diplomatic Courier and World in 2050, in partnership with the Community of Democracies (CoD), and Center for International Private Enterprise (CIPE), International Arts & Artists (IA&A), Tidal Strategies, and Center for the Study of Presidency & Congress (CSPC), present the 2024 Future of Democracy Forum on the eve of the NATO Summit in Washington, DC. This year’s forum will feature high-level dialogue and an innovation lab examining the health and future of democracy and democratic institutions by exploring the question: Is democracy in decline or under attack?
This year’s forum will focus on the health and future of our democratic institutions in the face of multifaceted and evolving pressures, which have been supercharged due to the polycrisis.
Specifically, delegates to the forum will:
- Reconsider the root causes of various challenges to our democracies—systemic or external threat?
- Examine the near–term and likely long–term trajectories of resilience to these threats, both in entrenched democracies and in nascent democracies.
- Gamify decision making to open up new angles for thinking about actions we can meaningfully take to engender more resilient democracies.
The Forum is intentionally designed to be interactive and intimate with the key goal to convene, connect, and create partnerships among the different stakeholders participating in the event. It will aim to inform NATO principals and other stakeholders through a post-meeting communique.
“NATO stands out as an institution that is both in distress but also a leader innovating in the trust and disinformation arena,” said Ana Rold, CEO of Diplomatic Courier. “There’s much we can learn from NATO’s modernization in tackling 21st-century challenges. And there is much NATO leaders can learn from our Brain Trust who has pioneered innovation in the space of data and cyber security, mis- and disinformation, and governance models for the future.”
This year’s speakers include:
- Ana Rold | Founder & CEO, Diplomatic Courier & World in 2050
- Thomas Garrett | Secretary General, Community of Democracies
- Camille Stewart Gloster | CEO, CAS Strategies
- Rep. Glenn Nye | President & CEO, Center for the Study of Presidency & Congress
