Socrates organizes custom seminars on a variety of topics for corporate clients that desire "private label" experiences for their executives and/or members. YPO and the Rodel Foundation have been among the more recent custom seminar clients, with seminars on effective leadership, civil liberties in times of war and resolving bioethical dilemmas—the latter two for U.S. Senate staffers, with the aim of encouraging bi-partisan problem-solving and relationship-building.
Senate Socrates seminars are offered to Congressional staffers and a limited number of the public at the Institute's Wye River campus in Queenstown, Maryland.
