Geopolitical Disruptions and American Competitiveness
In collaboration with the Manhattan Institute
July 1 – 2, 2025 at the Argyros Performing Arts Center
Join us for the 2025 SVPF Summer Institute, a 2 day event where you will engage in conversations around the complexities of our evolving world during the SVPF 2025 season, as we analyze the intricate nexus of geopolitical disruptions, rapid technological advancements, and critical domestic policy debates and their profound global impact. Our insightful programming will tackle pressing issues from economics and trade to industrial policy, education, cultural resilience, AI and energy security, examining their consequences at home and abroad. Enhance your engagement with a Season Pass, granting you exclusive invitations to intimate dinners and meet-and-greet sessions with SVPF speakers – your opportunity for deeper conversations and connections with fellow thought leaders.
