Liberty Forum
New York, NY – Intercontinental Times Square
November 13-14
Atlas’s annual two day conference bringing together freedom champions from around the globe. We kick off Liberty Forum with out our signature Speed Networking session where you will be able to meet other passionate free-marketeers. Liberty Forum is also an opportunity to engage with advocates for liberty during two-dozen sessions on the most pressing topics of the day.
We are especially excited about this year’s Liberty Forum for many reasons, one being that the conference will feature the inaugural Liggio Lecture by Professor James Otteson. The Lecture is a part of the Liggio Living Legacy Project, in honor of Atlas’s Leonard Liggio.
A highlight of our annual conference is the Think Tank Shark Tank competition. Modeled after the show Shark Tank, think tanks will have the opportunity to pitch a project that their organization is working on and the audience will decide the winner!
Tickets to Liberty Forum include tickets to Freedom Dinner, our annual gala event which concludes Liberty Forum.
