“We undertake independent

encouraging new ideas and
forward thinking in
international affairs”
Chatham House’s Work
Events
Each year Chatham House hosts some 100 public
meetings for its members and about 20 major
one- or two-day conferences enabling world
leaders and experts to share their views and
engage in discussion. A large number of these
speeches are recorded.
“[We are]... a melting pot that brings together people and organisations with an
interest in international affairs.
We provide an independent forum in which academia, business,
diplomats, the media, NGOs, politicians, policy makers and researchers
can interact in an open and impartial environment.
The widespread recognition of the Chatham House Rule as a byword
for free and frank debate is a reflection of our unique and nonaligned perspective.”
