The McCain Institute Washington Forum
December 5, 2024
The McCain Institute Washington Forum offers a unique platform for U.S. and global leaders to engage in face-to-face discussions about real solutions to the most pressing challenges of our time. Held in the nation’s capital, Washington, D.C., this gathering brings together policymakers, activists, and experts to foster positive change in national and global affairs through dialogue on democracy, human rights, and leadership.
Democracy, Human Rights & Leadership in Action
The 2024 Washington Forum theme, “Democracy, Human Rights & Leadership in Action,” highlighted the McCain Institute’s work to counter rising authoritarianism, an erosion of democratic norms, growing violations of human rights, and a lack of principled, character-driven leadership at home and abroad. Inspired by the maverick spirit of Senator John McCain, the forum placed a strong emphasis on harnessing innovation and collaboration to meet these challenges head-on.
