The Atlantic Festival


The 2021 Atlantic Festival returns this September for seven days of can’t-miss conversations and engaging experiences. The newly expanded festival will bring urgent and powerful moments to audiences around the world.

Join bold thinkers and prominent voices from politics, business, science, technology, and culture to explore ideas for building a better future—and visions of what America can be.

This year, for the first time, you can curate your experience at The Atlantic Festival by adding sessions to your calendar around content tracks that interest you.

Here’s how: After you register, simply filter the schedule of events by the following tracks to see different conversations and experiences, then add what you’re interested in to your calendar:

  • Business & Tech - How are companies, from local small businesses to the largest corporations, innovating and becoming more inclusive?

  • Culture - From media to microtrends, what cultural forces are shaping our nation?

  • Health - How will the world continue to navigate the deadliest pandemic in a century and ensure that health outcomes are more equitable?

  • Race/Identity/Politics - What is the future of the American idea?

  • Climate - How can humanity live on—and save—a warming planet? As the Festival approaches, stay tuned for more updates on how to build your customized schedule.
