Annual Strategy Conference 2026
NOVEMBER 20–22, 2026 | ONLINE
Shaping Afghanistan’s Future Through Strategic Research, Dialogue, and Collaborative Action
A Gathering for Afghanistan’s Future
The Annual Strategy Conference brings together Afghan youth leaders, diaspora professionals, researchers, and international partners to discuss the country’s long‑term trajectory. It is a space for rigorous, evidence‑based conversations about governance, economic recovery, education, and regional integration — topics that go beyond the current political constraints and look toward a future where Afghans can rebuild freely. The conference is hosted online to ensure broad participation, especially from those who cannot travel or are inside Afghanistan under difficult conditions.
