The Aspen Ideas Festival celebrates its 20th edition, June 23-29, 2024, with its first-ever guest curator, celebrated magazine editor and author Tina Brown. Each summer, the Aspen Ideas Festival gathers brilliant leaders and thinkers from around the globe to discuss the ideas that will shape tomorrow and help us understand today.

From mainstage one-on-one interviews to intimate roundtable discussions and even picnic lunches, Aspen Ideas events are designed to give attendees exceptional opportunities to learn from and interact with public officials, artists, scientists, authors, economists, scholars, foreign-policy specialists, entrepreneurs, and leaders of all kinds. The intimacy of Festival gatherings creates a truly unique and unforgettable experience.

On the 20th year of the Aspen Ideas Festival, you will hear the conversations that matter from the people who inspire. Amidst the serenity of the Aspen Institute’s 40-acre campus, Festival curator Tina Brown is assembling an extraordinary cast of truth tellers, culture shapers, soul savers, game changers, and explainers of now.

The Aspen Ideas Festival is divided into two sections: Festival 1 (June 23 – 26) and Festival 2 (June 26 – 29). Passes are on sale now and can be purchased at AspenIdeas.org.
