About Brussels Forum

After two decades of convening world leaders at Brussels Forum, GMF is reimagining its flagship events to deliver, in contemporary formats, actionable solutions to today’s most critical geopolitical challenges—and to assemble the decision-makers with the power to implement them. 

This year marks a strategic shift. GMF will have a prominent presence at pivotal moments in 2026, including the Ukraine Recovery Conference, the NATO summit in Ankara, and America’s 250th anniversary. Looking ahead to 2027, GMF is designing a landmark convening that will help frame the agenda for transatlantic leadership in a transformed global order.
