Join Admiral Pierre Vandier, Supreme Allied Commander Transformation (SACT), for a Headliners coffee and conversations on Tuesday, February 10, 2026 from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at the National Press Club.
Vandier commands NATO’s transformation headquarters in Norfolk, Virginia, and will outline how Allied Command Transformation (ACT) is helping ensure the Alliance remains ready for the challenges ahead, and how this mission supports US security and strategic interests.
Admiral Vandier will also address the broader value of NATO for the United States: a network of nations that share the burden of defense, bring global capabilities, and confront security crises, from Europe to the broader transatlantic space.
The Headliners event begins with remarks from Admiral Vandier in the Fourth Estate Room at 11:30 a.m., followed by a question-and-answer session ending at 12:30 p.m. National Press Club members may attend at no cost. Non-member tickets cost $5.
To submit a question in advance for the speaker, put NATO in the subject line and email it to [email protected]. The deadline for submitting questions in advance is 10 a.m. on the day of the address.
