In its tenth year, Washington Ideas becomes The Atlantic Festival. Our new name pays homage to 161 years of award-winning journalism, analysis and storytelling, and captures the expansive nature of the event.
Through in-depth interviews with some of today’s biggest thinkers and leaders in technology, politics, business and the arts, we will illuminate new ideas, and grapple with the most consequential issues of our time.
From October 2 to 4, 2018, The Atlantic Festival will take over multiple blocks of Washington, D.C.’s Penn Quarter. Anchored by our “Ideas Stage” at Sidney Harman Hall, our downtown campus will feature book talks, networking receptions, breakout lunches, and much more.
For three days, The Atlantic will convene thought leaders, press and industry professionals to discuss the most consequential topics facing us today. With several events happening simultaneously, guests will have the opportunity enjoy a multitude of topical summits, on-stage interviews, networking opportunities, exclusive screenings and gripping performances for an unparalleled experience in the heart of Washington, DC. Take a look at our event calendar for more information on each opportunity:
