NATO summits are not regular meetings like the more frequent NATO ministerial meetings, but rather are important junctures in the alliance's decision-making process on the highest level. Summits are often used to introduce new policy, invite new members into the alliance, launch major new initiatives, and build partnerships with non-NATO countries.

List of NATO summits
From the founding of NATO in 1949, there have been a total of twenty-eight NATO summits; the last of which was the 2016 Warsaw summit held in July 2016. Only the traditional summits have received an official number, thereby excluding the exceptional summit of 2001 in NATO headquarters. The next NATO summit will take place in Brussels, Belgium in 2017.
