The Center hosted our annual conference September 19 with both in-person and virtual attendees.
The theme was the future of arms control, and our expert speakers discussed critical topics including involving China in arms control negotiations, the changing role of arms control, using technological advancements in treaty verification and more.
We were thrilled to have keynote addresses by both longtime nuclear arms control champion Sen. Ed Markey and Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi.
We were also delighted to host two expert panels featuring speakers from both inside and outside government.
