Since 2012, ADEL has brought together over 40 outstanding young professionals each year from across the Atlantic Basin for a fully funded, transformative week of leadership development.
Following the program, participants join the Atlantic Dialogues, a high-level annual conference held from December 11–13, 2025, engaging directly with global decision-makers and thought leaders from around the Atlantic Basin for open, informal discussion on cross-regional issues.
