Type: Members event

This key Members Event will launch the newly refurbished Joseph Gaggero Hall. It will bring together three leading experts with longstanding ties to Chatham House for a discussion on their views of international affairs in the current political and economic climate, based on their first-hand encounters with key financial and political players. In particular, they will focus on what the priorities for the new US President should be and how the UK and Europe can maximize their influence with the new administration. The discussion will also aim to encourage a lively debate from the floor. The event will be followed by an open reception to acknowledge and thank those who have generously contributed to the refurbishment of the hall.
