Welcome!
Dear Reader:
 Welcome to the Web site for Objectivist Summer Conference 2007. Objectivist
Conferences is the premier venue for high-caliber presentations by Objectivist scholars, and that is what you
can expect this year as we celebrate the 50th anniversary of Atlas Shrugged in Telluride, Colorado. In
this spirit, we have assembled a broad array of lectures and events, highlighted by a six-lecture
presentation by Leonard Peikoff from his forthcoming book, "The DIM Hypothesis." The conference will include
ten general session lectures, sixteen optional courses, a panel discussion and a series of special events.
In addition to Dr. Peikoff’s pathbreaking lectures, subjects covered in our
courses include law, physics, history, mathematics, economics, literature and the development of Ayn Rand’s
ethics and writing—with emphasis on Atlas Shrugged throughout the conference.
The location we’ve chosen for this summer’s festivities is Telluride,
Colorado—a beautiful mountain setting with a variety of choices for lodging and activities, and a scenic
gondola ride to our conference center in Mountain Village (elevation 9,540 feet).
We also offer you a spectrum of special events to choose from, with dance
workshops, meals, two formal dress banquets and a day-long trip to Ouray, Colorado—the scenic valley town
that inspired Ayn Rand’s vision of Galt’s Gulch.
This will be an unforgettable conference, both for its content and for its
beautiful setting. We hope to see you there!
Dr. Yaron Brook
President
