The Oxford Round Table is a series of interdisciplinary conferences organized and run by a California-based educational organization, incorporated until recently as a for-profit and a not-for-profit corporation in Kentucky, and currently as a not-for-profit in Illinois and England and Wales.
The mission of the Oxford Round Table, according to its website, is "to provide an interdisciplinary forum for the discussion of contemporary issues that affect the public good in all its various forms and ramifications."
The Oxford Round Table is not affiliated with the University of Oxford, which has stated that events such as the Oxford Round Table are "external to the university" and "not, as such, authorised or endorsed by the university." The company has been accused of misrepresenting its relationship with the university.
