Highlights from the 39th Annual Camden Conference

The 39th Camden Conference, Today’s Middle East: Power, Politics, & Players, was recently held February 20-22, 2026. It brought together an extraordinary group of thinkers at a genuinely extraordinary moment. The conversations that unfolded over three days in February proved as timely as any we have hosted in our nearly four decades. One week after our Conference concluded, the U.S. – Israel war on Iran began—a development several of our speakers had foreshadowed from the stage. We hope this digital version of our Highlights publication will capture something of that weekend for you.
