Events at McCourt

Positioned at the epicenter of global policymaking, McCourt policy events convene the nation’s most influential thought leaders and decision-makers who are actively shaping our collective future. Our Capitol-adjacent location provides extraordinary access to speakers at the forefront of today’s most pressing challenges — from cabinet officials and international development experts to advisors who counsel governments worldwide.

McCourt hosts diverse programming from policy forums addressing breaking issues to intimate roundtables fostering deep dialogue. These events transform policy from theory into practice, with students regularly opening major lectures and engaging directly with decision-makers through dynamic Q&A sessions.

This approach reflects our fundamental commitment to experiential learning — training future leaders not through passive observation, but through direct engagement with those confronting the world’s most critical challenges. At McCourt, students don’t just study policy; they participate in its creation alongside the leaders defining our global future.
