Dear Friends and Colleagues:

I am writing to invite you to join 100s of think tanks and other civil society actors in global cities around the world on January 27 and 28, 2016 for a unique global program. The program will involve a series of coordinated events that are intended to highlight the important role think tanks play in governments and civil societies around the world. 

Please see the schedule below and click on the BEGIN Button to RSVP for the Go To Launch Events.

Over 60 think tanks already have agreed to host events in their countries that will explore this year's theme: Why Think Tanks Matter to Policy Makers and the Public.
