The Thirty-third International Churchill Conference will be at
The Mayflower Hotel in Washington, DC from 27–29 Oct., 2016

The Churchill Centre is pleased to announce that the Thirty-third International Churchill Conference will be held in the historic Mayflower Hotel in Washington, DC on 27–29 October 2016. The Conference theme will be “Churchill:  Friends and Contemporaries” and will focus on the myriad and fascinating relationships between Churchill and his wide range of friends and contemporaries—from politicians to soldiers, statesmen to writers, friends to family members.

In announcing the Conference, The Churchill Centre’s Executive Director Lee Pollock noted, “There is no statesman of the twentieth century whose career, in length or importance, can equal that of Winston Churchill. In his historic life, Churchill interacted with an unequalled range of personalities around the globe—friends, colleagues, rivals, and even enemies.”

Pollock continued, “The Centre’s Thirty-third International Conference will explore Churchill’s unique life through the lens of his multi-faceted personal and professional relationships. A wide variety of panel sessions will shed new light on Churchill’s character and personality and how those relationships impacted his life and career.”
