Global Affairs Speaker Series

Be Part of the Discussion!

The Global Affairs Speaker Series is a powerful dinner event held once a month from September to May, with a break for the holidays. Eight Global Speaker Dinners can be attended in full (with a diplomat membership) or experienced a la carte (with a general membership). 

The three central speaker themes of this series are: 

  1. Global Sustainability 
  2. Global Risk and Alliances 
  3. Foreign Policy Thought Leaders 

The format includes dinner at a central Denver location followed by single or dual speakers, presentations, fireside chats, and more! A dynamic Q&A is 30 minutes and is highly encouraged.

Policies

*All policies will apply to your guests 

**No cell phone use during events

Registration

The registration deadline is two days before the event. Online registration will close at that time unless otherwise noted. Email requests for registration after that time will not be accepted. This is to support both our partners and our staff. 

Paying for Events

All registrants will need to have paid for their dinner before the start of the event. Events can be paid for by credit card online as you register or at the door via credit card, check, or cash. 

Non-Member Attendees

DCFR welcomes non-members to two of our dinners! We aim to inform as many people as we can about the state of the world, and we feel that it is a great way to experience these events without having to commit fully upfront. We ask that after two dinners, you join one of our membership tiers to continue receiving event notifications. 

Bar

Please bring cash to these events to purchase a drink ticket (for alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks). 

Cancellations

You are able to cancel your dinner reservation two days prior to the event. You are able to do this online by logging in with the login information created at the time of registration or by sending an email to [email protected]. If you do not cancel, then you will be charged the full amount without a refund.

DCFR Canceled Events

DCFR works very hard to make sure events will progress as planned, but we recognize that things do come up. In case we have to reschedule or cancel an event, DCFR will send out a notice with options to everyone who has registered detailing how their payments can be handled. If we do not hear from you with ten business days, we will consider your ticket as a donation to the organization and a thank you letter will be sent to the email on file. 

Dress Code

Events are business casual (no jeans or hats please). 

Parking

Free unless otherwise noted.
