Established in 1997, the Canning Lecture is traditionally delivered by a President or Head of Government from Latin America or the Iberian Peninsula. It is one of the most high-profile events of its kind and a unique opportunity to engage directly with a leader from the region.
Previous speakers include Daniel Noboa Azín, Michelle Bachelet, Juan Manuel Santos, Iván Duque, and Enrique Peña Nieto.
The UK-Brazil Conversa is an annual forum for dialogue between policymakers and influencers, business leaders, academics, diplomats and governments, to help build closer relations and contacts between Brazil and the UK. It was founded in 2014 by former UK Ambassador to Brazil, Alan Charlton.
Alternating between the UK and Brazil, the Conversa was established to help explore how to make more of the contacts and links between the two countries. In order to encourage free-flowing and open conversations, discussion groups are small and sessions are held in closed conditions.
Conversa is a non-profit venture funded by sponsors. It is supported by the Brazilian and British governments, with Canning House acting as Secretariat. Participation is by invitation only.
