FULL PARTICIPANTS vs. AUDITORS

Full participants — people who like to talk, argue, and defend their views — will enjoy an active Socratic-inspired, give-and-take seminar dialogue with their fellow participants and our speakers, guided by experienced facilitators.

For those who want to soak up knowledge without weighing in themselves, we also offer an auditors’ tuition rate. If you just want to learn more about the region but not speak up, this is for you.

Participants and auditors also receive a concise packet of relevant readings in advance of our event.

OTHER ATTENDANCE OPTIONS

$500 per person for Mini-Course attendees.

$200 per person for Keynote Dinner attendees.

The Institute's Mini-Course includes the Keynote evening on Friday, June 24 and our speakers' presentations from 10am-12:30 pm on Saturday morning, June 25. Keynote dinner attendance includes cocktails, dinner, and the keynote address from 6-10 pm on Friday evening, June 24 at the Lodge at Vail. Mini-Course participants do not actively participate in the conversation with our speakers and are not provided with relevant readings.

SEMINAR LOCALE

Most seminar sessions, meals and receptions will be held at the The Lodge at Vail.
