Published 2024-04-24
Join the CSIS International Security Program for the 2024 Global Security Forum on Wednesday, April 24, 2024. As CSIS's flagship annual security conference, the Forum convenes leaders from the defense and national security communities to discuss the top security challenges facing the country and the world. This year's conference will feature keynote discussions with General Charles Q. Brown, Jr., Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and the Honorable Avril Haines, Director of National Intelligence.

The theme of the 2024 Global Security Forum is "Gathering Strength in a Gathering Storm." Speakers will address how the United States can muster its strengths to counter multiple global challenges, posture for uncertainty, and prepare U.S. forces to deter and defeat aggression.

This year's Forum will also feature conversations with senior leaders from the government, military, private sector, and think tank community.

The conference will be held at CSIS headquarters and virtually. Further details on the schedule, participants, and registration will be updated below in the leadup to the Forum in April.

  • I take great comfort knowing they apply as much professional seriousness to their craft as they did to that weapons grade combover.
  • @haji1740
    Thank you for this conversation. I appreciate all of you. Be Ready

    This panel is a universe; 48 stars on one stage! Lots of horsepower with great dialog showcasing needs in the ever-changing war environment (including space). What has changed is the "look at my service" boasting, these great generals/admirals have modeled teamwork servants below them have always expected of our leaders. The last stage of team building is the Esprit stage (rarely seen), that's what I see in this conference. Thank you for showcasing current leadership of our military!

    Part of it I felt relief and part of it was very scary, if you play it out in your mind. The one thing that is so apparent is the speed of change just keeps getting faster and faster. Really interesting talk.
  • This has been a really good program for me. I’m just a retired teacher but your speakers have addressed many concerns I’ve had looking at our current world. Please lease with UK forces with your shared wisdom
  • @utubemewatch
    We can make all these improvements, but if we don’t have military leaders who can see 6 inches in front of their faces, we end up exactly where we are. But it’s not fair to blame them, they’re a function of the cronyism, bureaucratic malfeasance, group think and political corruption. They don’t offer new insights, they mold their views to the blob. They’ve done well to maximize their wealth and benefits while eliminating their accountability. The disasters of Ukraine, the Afghanistan pull out, Syria, the Houthis, the embarrassment in the Sahel — no one has been fired, demoted, apologized, taken responsibility, nothing. Only the NCO’s and low ranking officers are held accountable.

    Great minds working together👍 very much appreciate to be an allied. Greetings from Denmark 🇩🇰
  • After seeing three wars in mine, my life is not entirely safe from people who never made war but wrote the history of those who waged war, we hope that the world does not forget your words to the survivors
  • We would like to thank our Leaders and we hope that they would be proud of what they have accomplished
  • @331SVTCobra
    These gentlemen are highly intelligent and well spoken. Our forces are in good hands and are highly capable. I agree completely with the comment about innovations in acquisition. Technology is moving so fast that equiping the fleet with new tech happens far to slow.
  • Congratulations to CIS for its analysis on U.S. Milatery: Competition and Contestation around the world in order to promote international security!!!
  • @whatohhellnah
    God Bless the United States and all of our Brother Allies!! Glad we have such professionals in leadership in our military. If only we can give them as voters a good administration to work under 🤷🏼‍♂️
