MEI Programs Department
The Middle East Institute is a catalyst for dialogue, exposing different communities to diverse ideas.
Americans are keenly interested in the Middle East. As an independent voice, MEI uses a variety of unique assets to promote the work of talented scholars and engage our US and international public. MEI invites experts from the Middle East to address our conferences because Americans need to hear the region’s authentic voices. We employ state of the art technology to ensure speakers are heard across the nation.
MEI's audience is global, engaging with opinion leaders and policymakers, diplomats and executives, teachers and students, elected officials and common citizens.
MEI programs deal with current events and complex issues of the region -- from book launches to policy presentations by newsmakers and cultural series in MEI's Islamic Garden.
