NY Salon

The NY Salon is delighted to be sponsoring a session at the Battle of Ideas this year, as well as having numerous NY Salon members speaking at sessions throughout the weekend. With a commitment to thrashing out the arguments in an atmosphere of intellectual rigour and honesty, we have found that the Battle of Ideas provides an environment that is lively and stimulating. Indeed, the NY Salon aims to help create a similar setting in New York.

"Anyone interested in taking the pulse of informed public debate wouldn't want to miss the Battle of Ideas. It's one of the most enjoyable forums to hear balanced but passionate arguments presented by some of the most articulate, knowledgeable and charismatic speakers in public life. A hard core workout if you're interested in society."
