T20 U.S. Summit
Under the banner of “Harnessing Knowledge and Ensuring Continuity for Better Policymaking in Uncertain Times,” the T20 U.S. will convene, in hybrid format hosted at the Ford Foundation Center for Social Justice (with anticipated sessions held across the street at United Nations Headquarters), a large and internationally diverse T20 Summit from November 18-19 in New York.
As per custom, the gathering aspires to produce a final T20 U.S. Communiqué (combining, in a synthesized format, chief recommendations from both the Workstreams and Advisory Council) for wide public promotion in the run-up to the G20 Summit from 14-15 December 2026 in Miami.
Over two days, the Summit will gather leaders from international think tanks, leading universities, governments (including senior G20 policy-makers and UN Permanent Representatives), other civil society and private sector G20 engagement groups (from the W20, L20, F20, U20, B20, Y20, and G20 Interfaith Forum), and United Nations headquarters, located across the street from the main Summit venue. The overarching goal of the T20 is to better inform, bridge, and sustain the varying yet significant priorities of Member States, by drawing on common principles such as sustainability, equality, and peace to guide T20 engagements.
The T20 U.S. Summit will feature insightful keynote addresses and fireside chats, and engaging panel discussions featuring Sarang Shidore, director of the Global South program at the Quincy Institute, Zachary Paikin, deputy director of the Better Order program at the Quincy Institute, and Trita Parsi, executive vice president.
