Welcome!
Dear Reader:
 I am pleased to introduce the Objectivist Summer Conference 2010 Web site. This year's conference takes place from
July 2–10 in Las Vegas, Nevada. Objectivist Conferences is the
premier venue for high-caliber presentations by Objectivist scholars, and that is what we bring you this year
as Leonard Peikoff presents “The DIM Hypothesis” (part 2), the six-part sequel to the groundbreaking series
of lectures that he delivered to our conference attendees in 2007. This year’s conference offers eleven general
session lectures, sixteen optional courses and a variety of social activities and special events.
In addition to Dr. Peikoff’s lectures, we will bring you lectures and courses on a broad spectrum of topics,
including politics (my general session lecture, titled “Defending Capitalism”); writing (“Writing Objectively” by Keith Lockitch);
history (“Reformation and Religious Wars [1517–1648]” by Andrew Lewis); and poetry
(“Making Poetry Part of Your Life” by Lisa VanDamme). I am also pleased to announce that there will be a
special Q&A celebrating ARI’s 25th anniversary, hosted by Michael S. Berliner and myself.
The conference takes place in the exciting setting that only Las Vegas can provide. Besides the
renowned glamour of the Vegas Strip, the area boasts excellent shopping and restaurants, and landmarks
such as Hoover Dam (subject of a general session lecture by Talbot Manvel).
We are looking forward to an inspiring and memorable conference—we hope to see you
there!
Dr. Yaron Brook
President

topics, from metaphysics to epistemology to psychology, esthetics and history."

the formal conference sessions."

my expectations."
