Since the launch of the luncheon series in the 1920s, the Foreign Policy Association has invited experts to discuss global affairs issues with the public. Aside from the recurrent annual events such as the Annual FPA dinner, the World leadership Forum, and the International Business Forum, the FPA also organizes events such as Town Hall meetings, lectures, luncheon discussions and open forums with world leaders and experts in the New York Metropolitan area.
Recent speakers include United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, Mexican President Felipe Calderon, French Finance Minister Christine Lagarde and Turkish President Abdullah Gul.
