Celebrating our 78th year as a CU Boulder tradition

The 78th Annual Conference on World Affairs returns to CU Boulder April 13–16, 2026, where CWA is proud to host the kickoff of the university’s 150th Anniversary celebration.

Since 1948, the Conference on World Affairs (CWA) has brought together global leaders, innovators, and experts to spark timely, thought-provoking conversations on the issues shaping our world. Free and open to all—whether you join us in person at CU Boulder or via livestream—CWA invites audiences to connect, question, and be inspired.
