State of the World with David Sanger | GSF2026
About this Event
New York Times national security correspondent David Sanger returns to Hartford with CTWAC’s Art House for a special keynote on the State of the World, examining the forces reshaping global security — and where they may lead next.
A Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist with a front-row seat to U.S. foreign policy and global affairs, Sanger will take us inside the defining challenges facing the world today: China and Russia, Iran, nuclear threats, rapidly advancing technology, shifting alliances, and the changing role of American power.
Drawing on decades of reporting from inside Washington and around the world, Sanger will cut through the headlines to examine where the greatest risks are emerging, the decisions that matter most, and what we should be watching next.
