CELIS Institute Events
One community, four rooms.
Every CELIS gathering is small, invitation‑only, and held under the Chatham House Rule, convening a high‑trust circle of leaders from government, business, law, and academia. What changes is the room you’re in.
The Flagship
CFIS — CELIS Forum on Investment Screening
Once a year in Europe, the field’s leaders convene to set the agenda for the year ahead. Now in its 8th edition — if the conversation matters, it happens here first.
Global Reach
CELIS Leaders
The conversation, taken to where it’s needed. Compact, high‑level dialogues in pivotal jurisdictions — Washington, Singapore, Tokyo — connecting regional decision‑makers to the transatlantic and global debate.
The Intimate Room
CELIS Salons
One table. One topic. One evening. Up to 24 senior voices for a candid, off‑the‑record exchange — for the conversations that only happen when the group is small enough to trust completely.
Build the Expertise
CELIS Thought Leaders
Where expertise is built, not just exchanged. A roundtable series across Europe, each edition focused on a cluster of national regimes — the Nordics, France/Spain/Italy, the UK and Ireland — for practitioners who need to master how screening actually works, jurisdiction by jurisdiction.
