Events for corporate members, while principally in New York and Washington, also take place in other major cities, including Boston, Chicago, Dallas, London, Los Angeles, and San Francisco. Select meetings are also offered to members via teleconference and/or webcast. Additionally, the Corporate Program offers over 25 conference calls a year on timely international issues.
The Corporate Conference is an annual two-day gathering that explores the global issues impacting the business landscape. Open exclusively to CFR corporate members, the conference is a unique forum comprised of intimate breakout sessions and off-the-record conversations with leaders in business and foreign policy. In a community of their peers, executives participate in dialogues on, and gain new understanding of, the political, economic, and social forces shaping markets, competitiveness, and the regulatory environment.
The CEO Speaker series is a unique forum for leading global CEOs to share their insights on issues that are at the center of commerce and foreign policy and to speak to the changing role of business in the international community. The series, sponsored by the Corporate Program, is one way that CFR seeks to integrate perspectives from the business community into ongoing dialogues on pressing policy issues, such as the international economic recovery, sustainable growth and job creation, and the expanding reach and impact of technology.
Corporate members have the opportunity to participate in a variety of conference calls with CFR fellows and other experts speaking on timely international issues. The "Window on Washington" and "View from Abroad" call series are designed to provide corporate members with inside perspectives on Washington, DC and critical international regions, while the "Rapid Response" series offers analysis and insight on breaking global developments.
This monthly speaker series brings the world's foremost economic policymakers and scholars to address a high-level audience from the business and financial community on current topics in international economics, such as outsourcing, monetary policy, and competition policy.
This quarterly meetings series brings together major U.S. and foreign policymakers, business leaders, and independent commentators to discuss and debate current issues in international economics, such as global energy markets, tax policy, global demographic change, and securities regulation.

Briefing on The Future of the Trans-Pacific Partnership
The Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) agreement received renewed attention from President Obama after the most recent APEC summit, where many viewed it as a key economic milestone for U.S. relations in the Asia Pacific region. However, potential resistance from Congress and China's looming economic presence could pose problems for the future of the agreement. In advance of the next round of negotiations, join Barbara Weisel as she discusses the future of the TPP, including the opportunities and challenges-economic, political, and others--and their impact on business. The roundtable will also serve as an opportunity for Ms. Weisel to solicit input from executives on the role of business in the TPP.. At CFR in Washington.
