ISF Recordings
The biannual International Security Forum (ISF) is a large-scale security conference that began in 1994. Since then, thousands upon thousands of international relations and security experts, practitioners, media analysts, and students have participated in the ISF, which is alternatingly held in Zurich and Geneva. The participants have also hailed from over 50 countries, which has enabled the ISF to establish itself as both a major regional event and an internationally prominent one. In order to share the intellectual riches and insights provided by the participants of this year's conference, which occurred from 22-24 April, we have decided to post the recordings of the various panel sessions here. Please feel free to 'click' on the different topics and hear the latest analyses provided by renowned experts in their fields.
