Eligo Forum has been active in this field since its establishment in 1997 and has since its inception brought together Heads of State and Government, senior members of reigning and non-reigning Royal Families, religious figures, business and civil leaders.

Often Eligo Forum has taken the form of lunches or dinners with keynote speakers as well as receptions. These events can be both private in nature as well as public - sometimes reported in times behind closed doors. The key guest of honour may well be passing through London or another international capital privately, or as is more often the case, on either a state or official visit.
