WASHINGTON INDUSTRIAL ROUNDTABLE
Established in 1945, the Washington Industrial Roundtable (WIRT) came together when its founding members were called upon to serve and advise U.S. Government leaders on wartime industrial policies. Ever since, WIRT has remained a prestigious organization dedicated to fostering high-level discussions on current public policy issues.
WIRT hosts regular “off the record” events, bringing together members of Congress, Executive Branch officials, public figures, and private sector leaders.
This unique forum encourages open debate and exchange of ideas among diverse industries, providing for a broad and informed perspective.
It's the best deal in town!
