In June 2021 the G7 met in-person for the first time since the COVID-19 pandemic began, marking a return towards normality after international summits, along with so much of our lives, were forced online. Having attended the UK-hosted summit, Dr Tristen Naylor (Cambridge University) will share his observations, reflecting on what the ‘new normal’ for international summitry is likely to be and what the implications are of shifts towards ‘virtual’ and ‘hybrid’ forms of online summitry.
