The event features a presentation of key findings from the 2026 edition of the Westernization Index — a comprehensive assessment of how the 14 non-Russian post-Soviet countries are evolving across political, legal, economic, cultural, and societal dimensions.
A panel of policy experts, economists, and regional voices will discuss what the data reveals about the trajectory of the region, the widening gap between reform leaders and laggards, and the implications for Western policy and investment:

- Dr. Eric Rudenshiold, Senior Fellow, Caspian Policy Center
- Danica R. Starks, Senior Fellow, Delphi Global Research Center and CEO, Morning Star Global Enterprises
