About ‘The Concordia Forum’

The Concordia Forum is an annual leaders retreat convened, organised and managed by Unitas Communications Ltd. The Forum is dedicated to promoting greater social integration across the western world and convenes annually in southern Spain to develop and strengthen a Cross Atlantic and Pan European network of leaders.

Now in its third year, previous Concordia Forum delegates have included UK Parliamentarians, senior UK and European corporate leaders, senior UK civil servants, media professionals, US Congressional and State Department advisor’s and grass roots activists.

The Concordia Forum is entirely self financed and is supported by both an Advisory Council and Steering Committee. All delegates attend in a personal capacity and all discussions are held under the Chatham House Rule.
