Aspen is a place for leaders to lift their sights above the possessions which possess them. To confront their own nature as human beings, to regain control over their own humanity by becoming more self-aware, more self-correcting, and hence more self-fulfilling.
This October 13–15, we’re bringing Aspen Ideas: Economy, our newest essential forum to Tulsa, Oklahoma, convening leaders, innovators, and decision-makers whose ideas and decisions are shaping the future of our economy.
Through roundtables, mainstage conversations, and experiences across the city, Aspen Ideas: Economy connects big economic questions to how they are unfolding across industries, communities, and everyday life. Grounded in real people, real places, and real dialogue, the forum offers a clearer understanding of the forces shaping our economy and our lives.
You’ll join leaders with different perspectives, but a shared commitment to improving the economy, society, and the human condition. It’s an opportunity to engage directly with the complexity of this moment and learn from it.
