The Inter-American Dialogue’s 2026 Leadership for the Americas Awards Gala will take place on October 22, 2026, at the Organization of American States in Washington, DC. The evening will bring together senior leaders and decision-makers from across the Americas to engage with those shaping policy, diplomacy, markets, and institutions in the region.

At a moment when complex challenges demand sustained leadership and regional cooperation, the Gala recognizes individuals and organizations advancing practical solutions and strengthening collaboration among government, business, and civil society.

We invite you to join the Dialogue for an evening that celebrates leadership in action and the partnerships shaping the future of the Americas.
