Our Annual Highlights Publication

The 39th Camden Conference, Today’s Middle East: Power, Politics, & Players, was 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 our Highlights publication will capture something of that weekend for you. It also includes a letter from President Matt Storin, some reflections from speakers and attendees, updates on our student programs and community events, recognition for our supporters and sponsors, and a financial overview of Fiscal Year 2026 (July 1, 2025 – June 30, 2026).
