Aspen Ideas Festival
Thinkers & leaders tackling the pressing global issues of our time
We believe that young people have enormous potential to take action on the best of what the Aspen Ideas Festival has to offer. View the image gallery below for a glimpse into the power-packed week Bezos Scholars experience as participants at the Aspen Ideas Festival.
The Aspen Ideas Festival convenes some of the most inspiring thinkers and leaders from around the U.S. and abroad in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado to discuss their work, their ideas and the issues that inspire them. Presented by the Aspen Institute and The Atlantic, the Festival is unique in its dedication to dialog and exchange, and has become a powerful venue for thinkers and change-agents to share and take action on critical issues.
