Wilton Park is one of the world's leading centres for the discussion of international issues. 

It holds over 45 conferences each year at its conference centre in Sussex in the south of England. Events are also held internationally.

Conferences cover the key political, security and economic issues confronting the world. Global concerns such as the environment and terrorism are also addressed, as well as issues such as social reforms and the impact of the information revolution.

Conferences are held over several days to allow plenty of time for informed discussion and for networking. They are held in a modernised sixteenth century English country house in beautiful surroundings in the middle of the English countryside.  

Conferences are generally small, with 50-70 people present for round-the-table discussions in which everyone is encouraged to join in. Participants come from a wide range of nationalities and professions. Most are in a position to make a direct impact on policy; on average over 60% are from government. The others are mostly from NGOs, business, universities, Parliaments and the media. Nearly 80% come from outside the UK. Finland has the highest per capita participation in Wilton Park conferences of any country in the world.
