I am pleased to announce Objectivist Summer Conference 2005—a two-week event offering an unmatched combination of intellectual stimulation, fun and relaxation.
This year's conference will be held in beautiful downtown San Diego, a city offering a rare blend of oceanside scenery, cultural activities, historical sites and countless entertainment opportunities. The conference venue is the Omni San Diego Hotel, a brand new luxury hotel in the heart of the city. This ultra-convenient location offers endless enjoyable activities just minutes away: you can dine at your choice of dozens of local restaurants, watch a baseball game at next-door Petco Park, relax at the beach, tour the historic Gaslamp Quarter or visit the world-renowned San Diego Zoo.
Of course, the heart of the conference is our stellar—and varied—lineup of lectures and courses: from lectures analyzing hot issues in the culture, such as neo-conservatism and judicial activism—to courses that apply Objectivism to education, economics, history and mathematics—to classes on enhancing your appreciation of literature, poetry and opera. By popular demand, we will once again hold a panel on Objectivism's inspiring progress in academia, featuring the intellectuals and businessmen who are making it happen every day. And, in celebration of Ayn Rand's centenary, the conference will be highlighted by lectures on Ayn Rand's increasingly influential contributions to philosophy, psychology and art.
In total, the conference schedule contains 15 general lectures, 16 optional courses, 2 panels, a dance workshop and several dinner events—including one aboard a U.S. aircraft carrier! There is literally something for everyone who is interested in Objectivism—and our flexible course options allow you to customize your vacation with the perfect balance of classes and other activities. And all of this in an environment with individuals who share your passion for ideas—and for life.
It's going to be a wonderful time. I hope to see you there.
