Join us for one-on-one interviews with national leaders and culture makers, fascinating book talks, premiere screenings, and the opportunity to meet people who want to engage with the great curiosities of the day. The year 2024 is a consequential one and this year’s festival will tackle the big questions to meet the moment head-on.
We have a terrific roster of confirmed speakers, including Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries; Senator John Fetterman of Pennsylvania; The Bulwark’s Sarah Longwell, Bill Kristol, and Tim Miller; political strategists David Axelrod and Karl Rove; founder of birthFUND, Elaine Welteroth; award-winning filmmaker and storyteller Noah Hawley (FX series Fargo); CNN anchor and Chief Washington Correspondent Jake Tapper; social psychologist and author of The Anxious Generation, Jonathan Haidt; and actor and playwright Anna Deavere Smith.
Atlantic writers and contributors including Jeffrey Goldberg, Jemele Hill, Elaina Plott Calabro, Evan Smith, Hanna Rosin, and Derek Thompson will be moderating these live conversations.
The complete agenda will be released in August, with more great speakers to come.
