We bring world leaders together to tackle the most consequential questions of our time.

Washington DC Summit

In November 2027, our flagship summit crosses the Atlantic for the first time.

EBLC brings the format of the Northern Light Summit to Washington, DC. Chairs and chief executives of Europe’s leading companies will meet American counterparts, and politicians from both sides of the isle for candid, off-the-record conversation that has defined Helsinki since 2002.

As the transatlantic relationship is being reshaped, the summit gives European and American business a direct voice where many of the decisions affecting it are made.
