The New Security Leaders (NSL) program is a leadership development program for mid-career, high potential leaders from foreign policy, defense and security fields. Over the course of 4 days, NSL candidates will work with mentors – world leaders, global thinkers and experts – to discuss the pressing global security challenges. The NSL takes place in the margin of the Warsaw Security Forum, allowing accepted participants to participate in the forum and help shape the discussion.

NSL participants play an active role in the Warsaw Security Forum, taking part in two-days of moderated discussions and simulations, followed by private meetings with VIP speakers in the margins of the 2017 Warsaw Security Forum. Accepted candidates will also have the chance to take part in networking receptions, working lunches, the WSF Gala Dinner and other valuable networking opportunities.

The 2017 New Security Leaders will take place on 6th – 9th November in Poland.
