The German Marshall Fund of the United States and the OCP Policy Center are organizing the 2014 Atlantic Dialogues Emerging Leaders Program, a unique opportunity for rising leaders, taking place October 22-26, 2014, at the Palmeraie Hotels and Resorts in Marrakesh, Morocco. The program will precede and include The Atlantic Dialogues 2014.
The Atlantic Dialogues Emerging Leaders Program combines leadership development training, working sessions, and conversations with prominent thinkers. The emerging leaders are then invited to participate in the Atlantic Dialogues conference.
The Atlantic Dialogues is a platform where emerging leaders from the world of politics, business, and ideas engage with senior policymakers and business and media representatives. By encouraging a lively and informal exchange of views between rising leaders and today’s decision-makers, the conference offers a strategic perspective on policy questions affecting the Atlantic Basin.
