5 Days at the Conference on World Affairs

flags for conference world affairs

Plan your trip to Boulder this spring to attend exciting and informative panels, plenaries and performances at this year鈥檚 65th annual Conference on World Affairs April 8-12. The best part? It鈥檚 free and open to the public.

Started in 1948 by late sociology professor Howard Higman (Art鈥31, MSoc鈥42),  panelists have included Eleanor Roosevelt, film critic Roger Ebert, vice president Joe Biden, jazz singer Lillian Bout茅 and broadcast journalist Maria Hinojosa.

鈥淎t a time when famous speakers can pull down $10,000 to $25,000 for an hour鈥檚 work, this would seem like an offer they could refuse.鈥

鈥 Film critic Roger Ebert, one of the conference鈥檚 longstanding superstars, referring to the CWA panelists in his introduction to the co-authored 1998 book Higman: A Collection (Thomas Berryhill Press)

Join the festivities with an eclectic group of 100 speakers and performers as they spark conversation and debate by addressing hot topics related to technology, arts, international affairs, medicine, media, science, the environment and politics.
