Founded in 2008 by Thierry de Montbrial, Chairman of the French Institute of International Relations (Ifri), the World Policy Conference (WPC) held its seventeenth edition from December 13-15, 2024, in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates.

The WPC's mission is to reflect upon and to come up with solutions to the constant upheavals of today’s world and to create lasting bonds between the participants. This international conference gives a voice to political, economic, academic and media players from over 40 countries – from major powers to medium and small countries, including emerging countries, thus ensuring a diversity and plurality of debates.

In 2024, the city of Abu Dhabi hosts the World Policy Conference for the fourth time.
