Event Description
<p>Join the Belfer Center for a full day of live, front-line policy conversations and interactive sessions on the issues shaping global power today.</p><p> </p><p>The program opens in the Forum with a featured conversation bringing together <strong>Professor Nick Burns,</strong> former U.S. Ambassador to China, and<strong> Ambassador Jane Hartley</strong>, former U.S. Ambassador to the United Kingdom and to France and Monaco, moderated by <strong>Meghan O’Sullivan</strong>. Together, they will examine how diplomacy is practiced at the highest levels today—how alliances are managed, where leverage comes from, and how diplomats are adapting to a more fragmented and contested global landscape.</p><p> </p><p>An interactive <strong>Emerging Technology Demo Day</strong> inside the Democracy Labs. This is not a panel. Guests are invited to visits booths where Belfer researchers will run fast, hands-on demonstrations of cutting-edge work—from AI to biosecurity and defense and strategic overview—showing how these tools function and where they are already shaping real-world outcomes.</p><p> </p><p>The day concludes back in the Forum with <strong>a live crisis scenario led by David Sanger </strong>of <em>The New York Times</em>, alongside Belfer experts. Set against a rapidly escalating international crisis in Taiwan, the session unfolds in real time, with participants responding as events develop. It offers a rare look at how decisions are made under pressure—across national security, economic stability, and alliance dynamics.</p>
