    Debate. Discussion. Democracy. Conviction. Compassion. Courage.

    Be selfish. Go help someone.

    Bobby Sager, The Philanthropist

    “Having differences of opinion, having a real debate about matters of domestic policy and national security — that’s not something that’s only good for our country, it’s absolutely essential.

    It’s only through the process of disagreement and debate that bad ideas get tossed out and good ideas get refined and made better.

    And that kind of vigorous back and forth — that imperfect but well-founded process, messy as it often is — is at the heart of our democracy. That’s what makes us the greatest nation in the world.”

    President Barack Obama

    Over the years, we have brought together the best and the brightest for open and frank exchanges, airing controversy to help build common ground. We have diverse and distinguished speakers to discuss the very things the electorate doesn’t always like to talk about...."
