Since the inaugural 2018 Global Security Forum, the annual gathering, organized by The Soufan Center, has convened thousands of officials and experts from dozens of countries. Bringing together participants from diverse national and professional backgrounds, the Global Security Forum provides a unique opportunity for researchers, public officials, policymakers, diplomats, academics, intelligence, military, law enforcement professionals, and journalists to come together with governments to discuss the world’s leading security challenges.
The Global Security Forum’s Overview and Findings Report compiles key insights from the conference, drawing from the rich and diverse expertise on offer each year. These reports provide an overview, as well as a strategic assessment of the security matters and policy recommendations discussed to meet the range of security challenges addressed each year. The findings and recommendations fostered by discussions at the Global Security Forum have been presented to key stakeholders at prestigious international meetings and events from across the globe, including before the United Nations, European Union (EU), Global Counterterrorism Forum (GCTF), the Global Coalition Against ISIS, among others.
