Why we picked this
Four days, 200+ sessions, completely free — CWA is one of the most ambitious public intellectual gatherings in the country, and it happens to be 45 minutes from Denver.
The Conference on World Affairs has been bringing global thinkers to CU Boulder since 1948. The 78th edition runs April 13-16 and features over 70 distinguished speakers across more than 200 sessions spanning art, business, the human condition, international affairs, politics, media, science, and technology.
The entire conference is free and open to the public, available both in-person and via livestream. It coincides with the kickoff of CU’s 150th anniversary celebration. The closing keynote by Malala Yousafzai on April 16 is ticketed separately.
