About this event
The introduction of a public forum alongside the official NATO Parliamentary Assembly event marks a unique addition to this year's Spring Session, providing an opportunity for the entire Dayton community to come together and highlight the city's role as a dynamic, world-class hub on the global stage.
The programming will feature thought-based discussions with high-level elected officials, security and policy experts, and local leaders from across the NATO countries. The conversation will be anchored by the historic Dayton Peace Accords and focus on the current tenuous situation in the Balkans, highlighting the need for the transatlantic alliance to work together towards a lasting peace. Hosted at the Roger Glass Center for the Arts.
GMF is a think tank partner for this year's 2025 Dayton Dialogue.
