Global Dialogue Series
The Global Dialogue Series features intimate, "salon” style conversations examining the central policy challenges facing the U.S. and world leaders.
In an increasingly complicated global economy, dialogues which include a diverse array of stakeholders empower organizations by uncovering previously unforeseen avenues for cooperation.
Drawing on Meridian’s unique constituencies, Global Dialogues bring together individuals representing a cross-sector of Washington and beyond in a nonpartisan, neutral setting to engage in friendly but substantive dialogue on today’s most important issues.
Participants include high-level individuals from the congressional, diplomatic, and government communities, as well as Meridian Trustees and Corporate Council members. The small audience format is designed to facilitate thoughtful conversation on a broad range of topics, including: business and trade, global food security challenges, energy and the environment, foreign policy, artificial intelligence and cybersecurity, and investment opportunities in emerging markets.
Recent Meridian Global Dialogues include:
- Dinners with Sabastian Niles, President and Chief Legal Officer of Salesforce, and Mira Murati, Chief Technology Officer at OpenAI, which shed light on the risks and opportunities associated with AI;
- A salon-style luncheon between senior Latin American diplomats and executives from Coca-Cola, which featured conversations on regional economic development and sustainability;
- A dinner which brought together Washington's top business and policy leaders to discuss the future of U.S. global competitiveness.
