In May 2012, Chicago will be the center of the economic and political world as heads of state and government, top diplomats, military figures, international journalists, and global thought leaders convene for the G8 and NATO Summits. The Atlantic Council of the United States and The Chicago Council on Global Affairs, in collaboration with the Slovak Atlantic Commission and the Atlantic Treaty Association, are seeking to engage next-generation leaders—between 25 and 35 years of age—in a series of activities in the run up to the Chicago Summits.
