Beirut Innovation in Politics Forum 2019

Beirut Innovation in Politics Forum (BIP) was a one-day event that aimed at exposing ground-breaking political work, gathering bright minds from the field, and making use of their experience to identify innovative approaches to Politics, as a study or as a practice.

BIP is not a conventional conference. It is an experimental journey meticulously designed for our audience, which comprises academics, politicians, political consultants, activists, media experts and policy specialists.
