Aspen Ideas Festival 2024 makes sense of an era of transformation and turbulence unfolding at breakneck speed. At every turn, societies, professions, social norms, and political systems are being disrupted or reimagined. But even as we confront existential dangers, we are sustained by the creative thinkers ablaze with groundbreaking ideas and imaginative solutions who confirm our best impulses and lead us to new understanding.

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, guest curator Tina Brown, celebrated magazine editor and author, is assembling an extraordinary cast of truth tellers, culture shapers, wealth builders, soul savers, game changers, and explainers of now.
