Join us for the Northern Ireland Emerging Leaders Final Presentations. An engaging two-day program highlighting the next generation of leaders shaping policy and progress across the Atlantic.

Hosted by the National Committee on American Foreign Policy (NCAFP), this initiative brings together emerging leaders from the Northern Ireland community, scholars, and activists with U.S. policymakers, diplomats, and experts. Through mentorship, workshops, and legislative immersion in Belfast and Dublin, participants develop bold, actionable ideas to advance peace, prosperity, and transatlantic collaboration.

At this culminating event, the cohort will present innovative policy proposals on topics including trade and tourism, climate and energy, education, housing, and democratic resilience. Designed as a small, interactive forum, the program offers a unique opportunity to engage directly with emerging voices, exchange ideas, and connect across sectors and borders.

The presentations will take place from approximately 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM on April 29 and April 30.

RSVP via the link or by contacting Shaina Katz at shaina.katz@ncafp.org.

Registration is required to attend, and we encourage you to sign up as soon as possible. If you have any questions about the schedule or anything else, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
