The 2022 CEPA Forum concludes by focusing on the leaders and organizations building innovative solutions to emerging issues in technology.
Event Overview
The third day of the 2022 CEPA Forum turns the spotlight on transatlantic cooperation in technology. As industry leaders innovate to combat disinformation, defense technology transforms the landscape of war, and the EU extends its digital diplomacy through its new office in San Francisco, tune in for the discussion on the future of the digital domain.
The 2022 CEPA Forum, “Meeting the Moment: Allies at a Crossroads,” convenes leaders and experts through a dynamic series of virtual keynotes, discussions, and debates focusing on the transatlantic response to Russia’s war in Ukraine and its implications for security and democracy.
