The Atlantic Future Forum (AFF) is an international summit chaired by Lord Sedwill, dedicated to strengthening the defence, security, technology, and trading relationships between democratic nations. In 2022, the AFF took place from September 28-29, onboard HMS Queen Elizabeth, on the eastern seaboard of the United States and was one of the UK Government’s keynote international events for 2022.
AFF 2022 was the fifth iteration of the event and this two day forum brought together pre-eminent thinkers, decision-makers, senior political, military and business leaders from across both the public and private sectors to explore the most crucial issues of the day in tech, trade, defence, energy and security.
Through keynote speeches, panel presentations, fireside chats and networking events, delegates discussed how we defend the rules-based international order and tackle the global crisis of today, from the current situation in Ukraine, climate change and the economic aftershocks of COVID-19 to the future of defence and the technologies of tomorrow.
News of future AFF iterations will be announced soon.
