Since 2021, the Indo-Pacific Roundtable has served as the flagship event of the Indo-Pacific Strand at the Centre for Geopolitics, University of Cambridge, and has grown into the largest conference of its kind in Europe. The roundtable convenes academics, think-tank experts, and policy practitioners to explore economic and security issues that shape the Indo-Pacific, a region that represents more than half of the world.

For 2026, Professor William Hurst, Professor John Nilsson-Wright, and Dr Alice Politi look forward to hosting the Centre’s annual roundtable at Robinson College, Cambridge, on Friday 15th May. This full day of panels will bring the sharpest minds together to analyse the region’s current geopolitical issues and potential outcomes. 

For this event, a full buffet lunch will be provided, alongside refreshments throughout the day. It will also be followed by a complimentary drinks and canape reception for further discussion and networking.
