STRATEGIC PARTNERS
FOR WORK THAT MATTERS
An award-winning events consultancy partnering with governments, foundations and institutions on the world’s most consequential challenges.
Designing the conditions for global progress
Camlin works with international organisations on complex, high-stakes work — typically where policy, governance, science and funding intersect. We support from early-stage strategy through to delivery, particularly where the work involves convening the right people to make progress on critical subject matter.
That might look like convening leading virologists in Paris to align on the latest existential threat in biosecurity, bringing together donors and experts in New York to unlock funding for nuclear weapon security, or running closed-door discussions in China on AI safety between the East and the West.
We work in very high-trust environments — with international governments, universities, foundations and institutions operating at the level of the United Nations and the OECD.
