Election 2024 and Election 2024 Events

Registration is free, but we do ask that you sign up on the Thunderbird | ASU website or by calling Krista Zegura at 212.434.9680. The event is open to all, so please share the event link widely with your network.

Join us for an in-depth, nonpartisan conversation on America’s role in the world and the foreign policy issues at stake in the 2024 election, including international trade and national security, the U.S.-China relationship, and U.S.-Mexico relations. Panelists with distinguished careers in government, business, and academia will discuss the tradeoffs presented by different policy options both locally and globally and provide context on the international issues, choices, and challenges facing the next president.

The forum will also be livestreamed and posted to CFR.org after the fact.
