Corporate Conference Calls
Corporate members have the opportunity to participate in a variety of conference calls with CFR fellows and other experts speaking on timely international issues.

Subprojects
September 1, 2009—Present
The "Recovering from Recession" conference call series examines regions and countries experiencing economic, political, and social shifts and developments exacerbated by or resulting from the global financial crisis. Drawing on experts from the United States and from the regions under discussion, these calls will address the factors influencing recovery and the impact of economic shifts on politics and policy.
This meeting series is sponsored by the Corporate Program.
The “View from Abroad” Conference Call series examines global issues from the non-U.S. perspective and the impact on business and policy communities abroad. The calls draw speakers from foreign governments and policy communities, business analysts, and geoeconomic experts as well as journalists and others who know the issues from the local perspective.
This meeting series is sponsored by the Corporate Program.
The “Window on Washington” Conference Call series examines current international issues in the nation’s capital and what they mean for business. The calls cover Congress, the administration, and other major players in Washington, drawing speakers from not only these groups, but also journalists and others who know the issues and Washington better than anyone else.
This meeting series is sponsored by the Corporate Program.
