Students and young professionals are invited to apply for a half-day conference being held at the Atlantic Council in Washington, D.C., on Wednesday, August 1^st. The conference will bring together young global leaders from across the U.S. for workshops, speakers, and discussions on whether and how the transatlantic community can work together to build effective international laws and institutions. Students will hear from top experts and then have the chance to weigh in with their own views. Students will also have the opportunity to meet and exchange ideas with a diverse group of young leaders, equipping them with the knowledge, support and structure to implement these ideas in their neck of the woods.

Confirmed speakers at the summit include:

- Gillian Sorenson, Senior Advisor and National Advocate at the United Nations Foundation, and the Former Assistant Secretary General of the United Nations

- Betsy Andersen, Executive Director, American Society of International Law

- Frances Burwell, Director, Program on Transatlantic Relations, Atlantic Council of the United States

The summit is free of charge for young leaders selected to participate, including registration and meals. Travel to the conference and lodging is at the participant’s expense, but Americans for Informed Democracy will do its best to set up car pools for participants.
