2014 Aspen Ideas Festival wants the world to talk back

Celebrating its tenth year, the Aspen Ideas Festival, presented by the Aspen Institute and The Atlantic, invites the public to join the conversation, no matter where they’re located in the world. This year’s Festival, which opens tomorrow and imagines our world in 2024 from a variety of viewpoints, offers more opportunities than ever for engagement online, on social media, and through media outlets that will be on campus.

Multiple sessions will be broadcast live each day and a full schedule will be posted before the Festival and updated regularly here: http://www.aspenideas.org/content/watch-live. Additionally, on the afternoon of June 30, Hillary Rodham Clinton will join Aspen Institute President and CEO Walter Isaacson for a conversation, streamed live on Facebook.
