Members Events

The Members Events Department runs meetings and events specifically for members. It provides a forum where world leaders, policy-makers and opinion formers can be heard and their views discussed in an impartial environment. The programme, of around 90 meetings each year, aims to cover current issues in international affairs as they arise and develop.

Members events include The Chatham House Annual Conference, Annual Lectures (including the Whitehead Lecture, Dillon Lecture and tri-annual Martin Wight Memorial Lecture) and the US Election Series.

Members events are colour-coded green on the main calendar of events.

Format and Registration

The usual format is an hour long meeting with the speaker addressing the audience for half an hour followed by a question and answer session. Other formats include panel debates and round-table discussions.

Advance registration of members and their guests is required for all events and will not be acknowledged unless otherwise stated.

Audio and Transcripts

Members events are normally held on the record and open to media coverage. Transcripts for the majority of events are available and are placed on the website after the event in the audio and transcript archive.
