When great minds come together, they don't have to think alike.

At the Atlantic, we think it's better that they don't.

Join us for the Atlantic Festival on September 28th and 29th

for two days of compelling interviews, intimate discussions,

entertainment, networking, and more.

Be a part of the Atlantic's marquee live experience

and stand at the center of the moment's most important conversations.

You can attend this can't-miss event in person at the

North in Washington, D.C. or online from anywhere.

This year's speakers include Carrie Washington,

Speaker of Mayor to Nancy Pelosi, Governor Spencer Cox,

Arthur C. Brooks, Chimamanda Angosia DGA, Jake Tapper,

Jamel Hill, Lonnie G. Bunch III, Cheryl Strade,

and more of today's boldest thinkers.

Sign up today at theAtlanticFestival.com.
