15th Annual Harvard German American Conference 2023

The German American Conference (GAC) is the largest transatlantic student-led conference of its kind in the United States and provides a unique platform for leaders from academia, business, society, and politics to engage with passionate young minds.

We are committed to question the familiar and discuss impulses for action in fields such as society, culture, and technology, as well as business and politics, creating an inclusive space for open, interdisciplinary exchange among curious current and future leaders from both sides of the Atlantic – and beyond.

Please join Catherine for a discussion, "Reasoning from the past: Challenges for democracy across centuries" from 11:15-12:30 on Sunday, October 29 at the Harvard Kennedy School.
