The event will examine how international law, NATO, and the interplay of international and regional organizations have contributed to transatlantic cooperation, promoting peace and safeguarding freedom, and the challenges NATO faces in the coming decades in the face of technological innovation, environmental considerations and new security challenges. 

The keynote speaker will be Steven Hill, who serves as legal advisor for NATO. Speakers also include:

• Ambassador Jonatan Vseviov, Ambassador of Estonia to the US
• Lieutenant General Charles Pede, The Judge Advocate General of the US Army
• Ambassador and Lieutenant General (ret.) Douglas Lute, former US Ambassador to NATO
