What can we learn from the protocol of the highest levels of diplomacy? As the pandemic has pushed people farther apart, networking and making connections for both personal and professional reasons have become increasingly difficult, but the tools of international diplomacy can help.

In this virtual event, former U.S. Chief of Protocol Ambassador Capricia Penavic Marshall will discuss what we can learn from some of the most important meetings in international relations — state visits, NATO summits, G20 meetings, and more — to forge better and deeper connections in this time of crisis. How can we leverage the power of diplomacy to ace a virtual job interview, how can small cultural gestures make or break a first impression, and what can we learn from President Obama’s historic meetings with other heads of state?

Join Perry World House for this virtual event to get answers to these questions and more with a behind-the-scenes look at the workings of international diplomacy.

Sign up for this virtual event, and details of how to take part will be in your order confirmation email.
