Shaping Geopolitical Futures

THE 2026 MERIDIAN SUMMIT

Connecting leaders at the intersection of business and geopolitics to shape strategies for growth, innovation, and influence.

WHEN: OCTOBER 16, 2026

WHERE: WASHINGTON, D.C.

Join executives, policymakers, and visionaries for first-hand insights on emerging trends and scenario-based forecasts, helping you make informed decisions in a complex and uncertain global landscape.

Celebrate Diplomacy. Support Meridian.

Sponsors and special guests of the Summit will continue the conversation later the same evening as part of the 58th Annual Meridian Ball, where guests will attend intimate Ambassador-hosted dinners at embassies, followed by a gathering for dancing, dessert, and dialogue at Meridian House, an architectural treasure listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

The Meridian Ball is one of the most prestigious annual events in Washington, D.C. Now in its 58th year, the Ball brings together public officials – including Cabinet secretaries and members of Congress – with prominent media figures, foreign ambassadors, and representatives from the international business and cultural communities.

The Ball plays a critical role in helping Meridian advance diplomacy and supp’s mission.
