Summer Intern - FP Events
FP Events is growing the scope, diversity, and reach of our programs. We have successfully launched and built out a robust virtual event program over the past year. We are continuing that trajectory while also introducing a “roadmap for re-entry” back to in-person events in late 2021 or early 2022.

Foreign Policy (FP) is a magazine of global news and ideas. We explain Washington to the world and the world to Americans—and we do that by covering big trends in not only security and defense but also issues surrounding climate change, immigration, politics, culture, and more. FP is more than just a magazine: We have a research division that has been at the forefront of research on gender parity, 5G, security, and more. Our podcast division is flourishing and includes successful shows I Spy, And Now the Hard Part, and Don’t Touch Your Face. FP Events convenes top leaders in government, business, and civil society for critical and timely conversations on a wide range of topics.
