Core offering

Americas Society / Council of the Americas (AS/COA) is a non-partisan, membership-based organization that convenes corporate executives, government officials, and policy experts through annual conferences, private roundtables, working groups, and cultural programs focused on the Western Hemisphere. It generates revenue primarily through tiered corporate memberships (AS, COA, and YPA) and event sponsorships, and disseminates policy analysis via the Americas Quarterly magazine, The Americas Brief newsletter, and the Latin America in Focus podcast.

Product overview

Americas Society/Council of the Americas (AS/COA) is a non-partisan organization that serves as a platform for public-private dialogue across the Western Hemisphere.

The organization also hosts working groups like the Trade Advisory Group and produces content covering politics, economics, trade, and culture throughout the Americas.

Direct peers

• The Council on Foreign Relations: U.S.-headquartered nonpartisan membership organization that convenes foreign policy experts, government officials, and corporate leaders through roundtables, briefings, and publications. Mirrors AS/COA's hemispheric model at a global scope and shares the same subscription/convening business model.
• The Atlantic Council: Think tank and membership forum convening public and private sector leaders on international policy, with flagship conferences (e.g., Global Citizen Awards) akin to AS/COA's Washington Conference on the Americas. Operates a comparable corporate membership, events, and publication model.
• Inter-American Dialogue: Washington-based policy forum focused exclusively on Western Hemisphere affairs, convening heads of state, policymakers, and business leaders. Most direct thematic competitor to AS/COA given shared hemispheric policy scope.
• Woodrow Wilson Center: Nonpartisan policy forum in Washington hosting public programming, expert analysis, and convening across hemispheric and global affairs. Shares the convening-plus-research mix and government access with AS/COA.
• Asia Society: New York-headquartered nonpartisan organization combining policy programming, arts/culture, and corporate membership around U.S.–Asia relations. AS/COA explicitly echoes this dual arts-and-policy structure with Americas Society, making Asia Society a structural mirror.
• BritishAmerican Business: Bilateral membership organization convening U.S. and U.K. business leaders with policymakers through conferences, roundtables, and briefings. Mirrors AS/COA's model of country-pair convening with corporate dues and policy access.

Broad incumbents

• Chatham House: London-based international affairs think tank with corporate membership, the Chatham House Rule convening format, and authoritative publications. Comparable as an internationally focused membership forum, though with a global rather than hemispheric remit.
• The Economic Club of New York: Premier New York-based membership forum hosting heads of state, CEOs, and policy leaders. Overlaps with AS/COA on New York convening and corporate member base, though with a U.S./global rather than hemispheric focus.
• World Economic Forum: Geneva-headquartered international organization convening heads of state and corporate CEOs through the Davos Annual Meeting and regional meetings. Operates an analogous corporate membership/convening model at higher global scale; competes for the same multinational member budgets.

Emerging players

• The Heritage Foundation: While a policy think tank rather than a bilateral convener, Heritage competes for the same corporate-policy relationship and Latin America programming attention as AS/COA via affiliated initiatives. Serves a similar audience from a different ideological starting point.
