New York Ideas, organized by The Atlantic, the Aspen Institute, and the New-York Historical Society, will stand as the premier forum in New York for the exchange of ideas of consequence. The day-and-a-half long event will assemble a constellation of leaders - in the roles of attendees, provocateurs, and speakers. It will take on the largest issues of the day - through interviews, discussions, and debates. And it will recognize New York’s status as a major actor in all of the significant policy issues facing the country.
In 2005, two thought leadership powerhouses – The Atlantic and the Aspen Institute – came together to host the inaugural Aspen Ideas Festival – a celebratory and deeply-inquisitive public discourse on the most important issues facing the world. In 2009, the hugely-successful Festival spawned a “sibling” program – the Washington Ideas Forum. Now in its third year, this groundbreaking gathering of newsmakers and journalists has developed a distinct reputation for fostering original dialogue about critical issues in Washington and beyond.
In 2012, The Atlantic and the Aspen Institute will once again come together to host an event dedicated to intelligent conversation and debate, this time in New York City at the New-York Historical Society.
