As the United States celebrates its 250th anniversary year, the Richard Nixon Foundation’s 2026 Grand Strategy Summit will convene leaders in government, diplomacy, business, and national security from around the world to examine the domestic and foreign policy decisions shaping America today — and the America of tomorrow.

The Summit will take place on September 30 and October 1, 2026, at The Ritz-Carlton in Washington, D.C. It will focus on key dimensions of great power competition, including diplomacy, economics, energy, and artificial intelligence, with discussions centered on America’s strategic position of dominance in each domain.

Inspired by Richard Nixon’s tenth and final book, Beyond Peace, the Summit builds on his vision for America’s long-term role in global leadership after the Cold War.
