What to Expect
Seminar Dialogues
Each day starts by getting grounded with classic seminar dialogues. With a curated mosaic of global leaders and Aspen Institute-trained moderators, participants will take time to pause and gain new perspective. Asking the “big questions” will prepare you to engage and innovate in the day ahead.
Nature, Reflection, and Movement
With the backdrop of the Rocky Mountains, this year, we will spend intentional time engaging with nature, sound and movement to refresh the body and spirit. Mindfulness practices, nature immersions, and music are a few of the activities that will create the spaces for deep reflection to emerge.
Partnership with Generations Over Dinner
A curated, whole-table dinner conversation by tables of ten where we aim to have four generations at each table. The dinner is an exercise in trustful dialogue across generations, with the aim of building our collective wisdom.
Operator Roundtables
There are challenges facing humanity that are too complex for one entrepreneur or one perspective to solve. These sessions are designed to convene the AGLN community members across Fellowship and Fellowship classes, sector, and geography to share their work and find new opportunities for collaboration. This will be a fantastic opportunity to build bridges with people leading in similar issue areas like climate justice, racial justice, human rights, to name a few, while also enabling those who are new to the work to learn about pathways in.
Inspiring Luminaries
Each day, we will showcase a global expert to share their wisdom and give us new perspectives to deepen our conversations. Learn more about some of our special guests below. More to be announced in coming months.
