Program Overview
From sunup to sundown, the Aspen Ideas Festival packs hundreds of fascinating discussions into seven days. We explore critical issues as well as uncover ideas that spark wonder. Panels, interviews, lectures and interactive sessions will delve into topics shaping the 2024 election, business and the economy, the role of art throughout all aspects of our lives, geopolitics, sports, leadership, and more. Explore our 2024 programming for an idea of the subjects we cover.
