The annual conference, first held in 2014, is a major international gathering focused on security. It is organised by the Casimir Pulaski Foundation, a Warsaw-based think tank.

This year's participants included Guntram Wolff, a professor of economics at the Université libre de Bruxelles. Wolff served as director of the German Council on Foreign Relations from 2022 to 2024 and previously headed the Brussels-based Bruegel think tank for nearly a decade.
