The Heritage Foundation is an American conservative think tank based in Washington, D.C.

It is a research and educational institution dedicated to building and promoting conservative public policies. Heritage’s world-renowned experts – deeply experienced in business, government, the military, non-profits, academia, and communications – devote each day to developing innovative solutions to the issues America faces. They also engage with the international community to promote freedom, peace, and trade that benefits America and the world.

The Heritage Foundation’s experts who will speak at the event include Diana Roth (Energy), Steve Yates (US-China Policy), Brent Sadler (US Defence and Maritime Policy for South Asia), Eric Holtz (US Economic and Trade Policy), Mike Gonzalez (US Politics), and Jeff Smith (US South Asia Policy).
