The Jerusalem Post will return to New York City for its flagship Annual Conference on Monday, June 1, 2026, in what promises to be one of the most meaningful gatherings in its history.
Held in the shadow of the Israel-Iran war and other turbulent and significant developments across the Middle East, the conference will bring together speakers from the region and around the world. They will offer fresh insight into the security, economic, and geopolitical challenges and opportunities shaping Israel and the Jewish people.
The day will feature in-depth panels, one-on-one interviews, and open discussions led by the editorial team of The Jerusalem Post. Conversations will explore not only the most pressing news events but also the latest developments in defense technology and the enduring spirit of resilience among the Israeli and Jewish people.
In recent years, under the leadership of CEO Inbar Ashkenazi, The Jerusalem Post has produced multiple high-level events that bring together leading voices from Israel and the global Jewish community.
“The Jerusalem Post is much more than a media organization,” said Ashkenazi. “It serves as a gateway between Israel and the rest of the world.”
The Jerusalem Post Annual Conference will be live-streamed on the media group’s website and social media channels. Last year’s event reached nearly 2.5 million collective online views and featured prominent Israeli leaders, including former defense minister Benny Gantz, Economy Minister Nir Barkat, and Culture and Sports Minister Miki Zohar.
The 2025 conference also welcomed influential US figures, including United States Special Envoy to the Middle East Steve Witkoff, Senator Rick Scott, and Congressman Brian Mast, alongside social media influencer Montana Tucker and television personality and psychologist Dr. Phil McGraw. Business leaders such as Bank Leumi CEO Hanan Friedman and Mitrelli Group founder and president Haim Taib also took part.
Ashkenazi added that there is no better venue for connecting with leading figures from across the Jewish world and exchanging ideas.
“Join us in the city that never sleeps,” she said. “At the Jerusalem Post Annual Conference, you can forge connections that last a lifetime.”
