Upcoming and Recent Events The Independent Institute hosts numerous events to encourage discussion and understanding of key issues in current affairs, public policy and political economy. Most are held either at the Institute’s conference center in Oakland, California, or at our offices in Washington D.C. At each event, distinguished and well-known scholars, policy experts and others speak at length about important issues and answer questions from the audience.
Upcoming Event
Civil Liberties and Security in an Age of Terrorism
Thursday, July 18, 2013 Oakland, CA
Could the eye-opening reports on the governments accessing
all phone and electronic communications along with
the reaction to the Boston Bombing be setting into motion
a chain of events of ominous significance? What should
Americans be most concerned about?
You are cordially invited to join with us for a special evening,
in association with our Challenge of Liberty Summer Seminars,
as we discuss these timely issues.

Why Government FailsBut Free Individuals Succeed
Thursday, April 19, 2012 Oakland, CA
Emmy Award and Peabody Awardwinning TV journalist John Stossel has long argued that the government is not a neutral arbiter of truth. A self-described skeptic, he has dismantled societys sacred cows with unerring common sense. Now he debunks the most sacred of them all: the belief that government can solve our problems.

Restoring First Principles: The Economy, Bailouts, and the Right to Bear Arms
Thursday, February 9, 2012 Washington, D.C.
With perpetual wars, bailouts, fiscal insolvency, and the continuing degradation of civil liberties, the country has no hope for righting itself without a return to First Principles. As Vern McKinley, Stephen Halbrook, and Don Boudreaux will show, these principles are fiscal responsibility, limited government, strong protection of civil liberties and the right to bear arms, and a commitment to promoting free, peaceful, and prosperous societies. Join us at this great event that will be followed promptly by a book signing with the authors.
