The Aspen Ideas Festival is pleased to announce the  Aspen Ideas Festival Scholars, a diverse group of some 300 action-oriented leaders from all over the United States and around the world, selected for their work and accomplishments—and for their ability to transform ideas into action.

These scholars were nominated by trustees, senior members of the Institute’s staff, Festival track advisors, and past scholars.

 Their presence at the Festival has been made possible by a group of Festival patrons, whose purchase of special patron passes fund this program.

 The Aspen Institute is proud to host these distinguished scholars and grateful to the patron pass donors for their support.
