Format
Off the RecordModified Chatham House rules
Our cohort of speakers and attendees come from national security backgrounds and bring the value of that collective experience to every session and side-channel discussion.
Sessions operate under modified Chatham House rules. The goal is honest assessment of hard problems, not the version of those problems that's safe to say on the record.
Distance from the Beltway is a feature, not an accident. Whitefish produces a different quality of engagement, and a different quality of relationship, than a conference hotel on K Street.
Organized in partnership
The Whitefish Security Summit is organized in partnership with the Lobo Institute, a national security organization founded by two respected figures in the special operations and intelligence communities.
