Founded in 1987, the Camden Conference is a nonprofit, non-partisan educational organization whose mission is to foster informed discourse on world issues. This is accomplished by hosting a variety of community events in locations from Mount Desert Island to Damariscotta leading up to the annual three-day conference in late February. The 22nd annual Camden Conference, Global Leadership and the U.S. Role in World Affairs, will take place February 20-22, 2009.
