On Thursday, May 14, D.C.-based Travis J. Murphy will discuss sports diplomacy.

Sports are more than just games; they're also a powerful diplomatic tool. From athletes to government officials, sports have a way of benefiting everyone by achieving diplomatic goals, creating international relationships, engaging communities, and promoting peace.

Travis is the founder and CEO of Jetr Global Sports + Entertainment, a first-of-its-kind consultancy at the nexus of sports, policy, and diplomacy. Prior to this, he served as the Head of International Government Affairs at the National Basketball Association (NBA) and is also a former U.S. Department of State Foreign Service Officer.

Be part of the conversation and join the webinar on Thursday, May 14, 2026 at 7:00 pm EST.

Registration is required to receive the event link. $40 for all 8 lectures or $10 for any individual lecture. Free for any students currently enrolled in high school or college and GCIV members at the Attaché level or higher.
