Please Join Us for the 42nd International Churchill Conference in Washington, DC
The International Churchill Society's forty-second conference will be held from October 9 to 11, 2025. This year, we commemorate the 80th anniversary of the end of the Second World War. Washington is an ideal venue for discussing Winston Churchill's role in international affairs and the continuing relevance of his example in confronting today's challenges.
The conference will open with a reception at the historic Anderson House, the headquarters of the Society of the Cincinnati, to which Churchill was admitted as a member in 1947.
The conference sessions will begin the following day at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel, located on 22nd Street in Washington’s West End.
The conference will conclude on Saturday evening with a glittering black-tie gala dinner in the Great Hall of the National Portrait Gallery. This hall served as the reception area where, in 1865, President Abraham Lincoln and Mrs. Lincoln greeted guests attending their second inaugural ball.
