The Forum aimed to promote a better understanding of NATO's policies, goals and decisions through dialogue and engagement with a unique and diverse group of selected stakeholders. This year, the NATO Public Forum is co-hosted by NATO and the Government of the United States, in collaboration with the Atlantic Council, the Center for a New American Security (CNAS), GLOBSEC, the German Marshall Fund of the United States (GMF) and the Hudson Institute. The Public Forum featured panel discussions, debates and interactive sessions with high-ranking representatives and policymakers who were discussing the most relevant security challenges for the transatlantic Alliance.
