From 20 through 25 of June 2010, the City of Chicago will serve as host of the Annual Transatlantic Network 2020 summit. The summit, now in its second year, is the flagship event of the British Council’s Transatlantic Network 2020.  

When the 130 members from Europe and North America come together in June, they will not only be exposed to each other, but to the city of Chicago itself. In the design of the TN2020 summit, the British Council will draw inspiration from the city and its surrounding environs. The week long programme will have the overarching theme of “Using Technology to Create Social Change” and feature programmatic elements that fall under the three TN2020 focus areas of sustainable living, building community resilience and creativity and innovation.  Highlights of the week will include high level speakers, sustainable engagement with the city of Chicago, international “shadow events”, media appearances, and arts and cultural elements.
