Once a year, FP4A invites leaders from across the country to join us for our annual Leadership Summit – a series of critical conversations with top leaders from former administrations, Congress, the private sector, and advocacy community on important foreign policy and national security challenges of our time.
The 2025 Leadership Summit will take place from May 18-20, 2025.
Pre-registration is required for all events. On site registration is unavailable.
The Summit will officially kick off with an invitation-only Welcome Reception on the evening of Sunday, May 18. We recommend arranging your travel to arrive at the event venue, located near The Wharf in Washington, DC, by no later than 7:00 PM ET on May 18.
Plenary and break-out sessions will kick off the next morning, Monday, May 19 at 9:00 AM ET through 5:00 PM ET at Hilton Washington DC National Mall – The Wharf (480 L’Enfant Plaza SW Washington, DC 20024). We will reconvene for an awards ceremony that evening at 7:00 PM ET.
Tuesday, May 20 is our Summit Hill Day, which will include a half day of meetings on Capitol Hill.

FP4A members came together on Capitol Hill for a day of in-person meetings with key lawmakers to discuss the importance of sustaining support for Ukraine in the face of Russia’s invasion and during reconstruction. Last year’s Hill Day kickoff speaker was Chris Murphy.
We were also honored to be joined by three former U.S. Ambassadors to Ukraine.
