Speaking in DC on 26 Oct (Young Professionals in Foreign Policy) and it's open to the public

I’m speaking in Washington DC on October 26th, to the members of Young Professionals in Foreign Policy (YPFP), a non-profit committed to fostering the next generation of foreign policy leaders.  I’ll be presenting on “The Future of Globalization,” using the latest version of “The Brief.”  Because the audience will be mostly in their 20s and 30s,I'll tailor my discussion slightly to emphasize the important skills and characteristics future foreign policy leaders will need to have. 

It’s an evening presentation and YPFP made it an open event, so if you’re in the DC area and haven’t seen “The Brief,” this is your chance (regardless of age).   7:00p.m. start at 1800 K St. NW.  Must RSVP with your name and affiliation to events@ypfp.org.

The President of YPFP, Josh Marcuse, invited me to speak after he met Joel Zamel and Dan Green in Washington earlier this year.  Joel, Dan, and Josh hit it off talking about how younger generations are drawn to the type of platform Wikistrat provides, and the need for new approaches in understanding the complexities of today’s geostrategic environment.   It's been a few months since my last round of college talks, so I’m looking forward to the questions a younger-than-average audience is likely to throw my way - especially on the subject of working in the biz.

Just wondering if there is a charge for this event in D.C.?

Pretty sure no. If you RSVP, you can ask.
