The NATO Public Forum 2025 will take place alongside the NATO Summit in The Hague from 24 to 25 June 2025. This public event will bring together experts, politicians, civil society organisations, opinion makers, and international think tanks to discuss key themes of the summit and global security developments. The forum aims to make NATO’s discussions more accessible and to engage the broader public in conversations about the challenges shaping international peace and stability. Audiences in the Netherlands and worldwide will be able to follow the discussions online.

The NATO Public Forum is co-organised by NATO and the Dutch government, in partnership with leading Dutch and international institutions, including the Netherlands Atlantic Association, The Hague Centre for Strategic Studies (HCSS), and the Clingendael Institute. Foreign think tanks and policy experts will also contribute, alongside heads of state and government, foreign ministers, and defence ministers, providing a diverse and high-level perspective on global security developments.

The forum will be held at a dedicated venue near the NATO Summit and will be accessible to a limited in-person audience of 500 invited guests. However, the event will be livestreamed worldwide, ensuring broad public access. A full programme of discussions, interviews, and interactive sessions will take place both on the day before the summit and during the summit itself. Further details on participation and livestream access will be announced soon.
