Concordia Europe Summit 2023 | Concordia | 14 June 2023 | IE University - IE Tower, P.º de la Castellana, 259, 28029 Madrid, Spain

This one-and-a-half day event will bring together 75 decision makers for a set of high-level closed-door conversations centered on the theme of Democracy, Security & Geopolitical Risk, with a focus on cyber and energy security and diplomatic tools. Through a Concilium format, key leaders will be positioned in front of an intimate, dynamic audience, with the ultimate aim to foster honest and transparent interaction between the public and private sectors. While conversations will be off the record, participants will have the opportunity to share their perspectives with select reporters in dedicated press breakouts and interviews.
