FHDC programming creates a reason to walk through the door when you don't already have one.
Small rooms. Serious subjects. Interesting people. Social occasions. Conversations designed for participation rather than an audience.
Private Member Programming · Capitol Hill, Washington, D.C.
Frontier House does not exist to recreate the Washington conference circuit inside a smaller building.
Programming is intentionally suited to the House: conversational, small-format, participatory, and personal.
Where Policy Meets Perspective.
Private small-group conversations involving members and invited participants from Congress, government, defense, technology, and the broader national security community.
The Salon Series creates room for thoughtful discussion of issues that benefit from conversation rather than formal presentation.
Insight. Not Oversight.
A recurring members-only series examining artificial intelligence as it is actually being developed, deployed, and used in national security.
Technical experts, operators, practitioners, and policymakers discuss capabilities, limitations, implementation, operational experience, and emerging challenges without turning the conversation into a product pitch.
Good Questions. Candid Answers.
Intimate conversations with people whose experience, judgment, or perspective warrants more than a stage appearance and a prepared speech.
Topics may range from military service and public leadership to entrepreneurship, investment, technology, national security, and lessons learned.
A Seat at the Table.
Small dinners built around conversation.
Some feature a visiting guest or a subject worth exploring.
Others deliberately have no formal agenda.
The point is the table.
Sometimes the program is simply being together.
Happy hours.
Seasonal gatherings.
Welcome receptions.
Community celebrations.
Informal evenings at the House.
Not every reason to gather requires a microphone.
Recorded from Moon Landing Studio at Frontier House, Last Week in D.C. examines developments, people, and ideas shaping Washington's national security community.
Interviews and conversations extend selected perspectives beyond the room while giving FHDC a platform to tell the stories of the community surrounding the House.
FHDC programming is principally designed for members.
Some gatherings allow approved guests or invited participants. Others are restricted to members.
Eligibility, capacity, confidentiality requirements, invitations, dates, and RSVP instructions vary by program and are communicated with the relevant event information.
Programming changes throughout the year. Individual events, speakers, or attendance opportunities are not guaranteed as part of membership.
Certain special activities may carry an additional cost or require separate arrangements; any such requirement is communicated in advance.
Club programming is what FHDC puts on.
The House is also available for members to bring people together themselves.
