Make New Connections

Working to sustain peace, freedom, and the rule of law since 1958

Our purpose

Ditchley works to renew democratic societies, states and alliances to sustain peace, freedom and the rule of law. We do this by bringing together influential people with diverse expertise and very different viewpoints to address the challenges of today and tomorrow.

Preview of Upcoming Programme

Spanning our four core themes of Geopolitics, Democracy, Technology, and Energy & Climate, Ditchley discussions address complex challenges that often do not have simple solutions. Our invitation-only convenings gather a judicious mix of leaders and emerging talent from across the public and private sectors to encourage conversations across divides and create space for strategic thinking. Events range from our gold standard monthly conferences to smaller backchannel talks with key people to large-scale assemblies, such as the Annual Lecture.

Ditchley Community

Our primary route to impact is through people, with an evolving community some thousands strong across different centres of modern power and in many countries. We continually bring in new people, perspectives, and expertise from all backgrounds.
