Amid the enduring security crisis in the Middle East, an urgent need arises to contemplate novel strategies for great power cooperation alongside competition in pursuit of peace and stability. Navigating through this turbulent landscape demands a comprehensive understanding of how various rivals, competitors, and allies of the United States are advancing their interests through economic, diplomatic, informational, and military inroads in this complex and crucial region.

The University of South Florida Global and National Security Institute (GNSI), in partnership with the U.S. Central Command (USCENTCOM), is proud to sponsor the fourth Tampa Summit and tenth bi-annual conference on the Great Power Competition (GPC).

This two-day conference will feature keynote speakers and panel discussions, with ample opportunities for informal dialogue and networking. The focal point is to address ongoing security challenges in the Middle East, emphasizing strategic competition, sustainable conflict resolution, and innovative pathways to international cooperation within the US Central Command Area of Responsibility.

This bi-annual conference series facilitates a platform for diverse perspectives. It aims to tackle the most pressing issues and obstacles facing the United States across tactical, strategic, and policy domains, ensuring that global security remains resilient in the face of emerging threats.
