Since 2020, the American Council on Germany has expanded its digital programming to convene policymakers and thought leaders from both sides of the Atlantic for timely discussions on the issues shaping transatlantic relations. Through webinars and virtual conversations, the ACG has broadened its reach, increased accessibility, and strengthened its role as a leading platform for transatlantic dialogue. These digital formats have enabled the organization to engage new audiences, foster sustained exchange, and complement its in-person programming.
