The Atlas Society Summer Seminar

The Atlas Society's Summer Seminar is an annual event that brings together the best minds of the open Objectivist movement for lectures, workshops, and shared inspiration. It is a week-long cultural feast, a marketplace of ideas, and a week of friendship and fellowship. It features courses, workshops, and performances that center of the Objectivist view of life. There are beginning and advanced courses on the philosophy founded by Ayn Rand. There are lectures on Rand's aesthetics and on Ayn Rand as an artist. There are explorations of the political, cultural, historical, and social implications of Objectivist ideas. And there are sessions on applying the insights of Objectivism as part of a happy, flourishing life.

The Atlas Society will hold its annual celebration of open Objectivism over three full days June 29-July 1, 2012, in the elegant setting of the Renaissance Hotel, Washington, D.C. (Most participants should plan to check in June 28 and check out July 2.) We will have an exciting program and will provide seminar scholarships to worthy students. Registration information and a description of the program will be announced in early 2012.

 Participate in a free flow of ideas and shared information among the most intelligent, productive, and congenial people you’ll meet anywhere. Learn what’s being done, what can be done, and what will be done to increase the powers of the human mind, expand human liberty, and enhance human well-being and wealth around the world.
