Welcome!

Dear Reader:

I am pleased to introduce our conference catalog for Objectivist Summer Conference 2006—a nine-day gathering offering leisure, fun and intellectual vigor that cannot be found anywhere else in the world.

Seaport Hotel We believe that Boston’s Seaport Hotel is one of our best conference venues yet; we’re sure that you’ll find the accommodations and meeting spaces comfortable and enjoyable. The surrounding downtown area offers a splendid selection of fine dining, shopping and historical landmarks, which will add special significance to your Independence Day holiday.

But the real attraction of the conference is, of course, our lineup of speakers and courses. Attendees are still talking about last summer’s offerings, and we are confident that this summer’s courses will only add to the Objectivist summer conference legacy. Speakers include Objectivist luminaries such as Harry Binswanger, John Ridpath, Peter Schwartz and Mary Ann Sures, and topics range from ethics to education, art to opera, politics to perception, and from the ancient Greeks to the corruption of 20th-century philosophy. There are nine general session lectures and sixteen optional courses to choose from, as well as a variety of special events and dinners. Attendees may register for the entire nine-day conference, or use our à la carte registration options to choose those parts that best fit your schedule and budget.

U.S.S. ConstitutionPlease note that we strongly recommend making your hotel reservations as early as possible, as there will be other conference events in Boston during the same period, and it is likely that the hotel industry will still be complicated by the aftereffects of Hurricane Katrina.

All of us are looking forward to being a part of this special event in Boston. We hope to see you there.

Dr. Yaron Brook
President
