2007 Summer Seminar Dates and Site!

The Atlas Society's Objectivist Center will hold its 18th Annual Summer Seminar conference in the second week of July, 2007. The chosen site is Towson University. Towson is near Baltimore, Maryland and is just an hour's drive from Washington, D.C., Annapolis, MD, and Philadelphia, PA. Towson University offers excellent facilities at affordable rates, and has an on-campus hotel for those looking for the best quality accomodations.

The Summer Seminar brings together a wide-ranging community of experts, intellectuals, and enthusiasts, to discuss and explore Objectivism, the philosophy founded by Ayn Rand, author of The Fountainhead  and Atlas Shrugged. Over 30 faculty members offer 50 or more hours of sessions on the arts, politics, culture, history, law, philosophy, and the Objectivist art of living.

Note: the Summer Seminar will be held on a new schedule for 2007.

Arrival and registration is planned for SUNDAY, July 8. The final sessions and a blow-out party will be held SATURDAY, July, 14, with Sunday, July 15 as the departure day. Wednesday, July 11, will be a mostly free day for local excursions. For those who have attended past Summer Seminars, this represents a slight change of custom.

This new schedule allows travellers from the West Coast to lose the least amount of week-time possible travelling to and from the Summer Seminar, and offers those who can only make it for the second half of the Seminar a three-day set of sessions in place of the traditional two days.

The Summer Seminar speakers include Robert Bidinotto, Scott Bullock, Marsha Enright, Stephen Hicks, Edward Hudgins, David Kelley, David Mayer, Robert Poole, Douglas Rasmussen, Fred Seddon, William Thomas and many others. Registration materials will be distributed by mail in early March.
