Richmond’s Most Curious Minds. The World’s Most Timely Ideas.
Subscribe now to secure your spot in the conversation.
For four decades, The Forum has given Richmond a front-row seat to the ideas, stories, and voices shaping our world, and a community of fellow curious minds to share them with.
This season, we are asking the questions keeping all of us up at night: What does it really take to be happy? How will AI reshape the way our kids learn? Where is the global economy headed, and who wins and loses? What does a decade at the helm teach you about leadership and what it takes to be a good neighbor?
These five programs will challenge your assumptions, expand your thinking, and inspire conversations that will echo throughout Richmond. We hope that you’ll join us.
“Ideas are more powerful when we encounter them together. We’ve built a season around the questions we’re all asking: Are we on the brink of a global recession? How will AI change the way our children learn? What does it take to be truly happy? We hope you’ll be part of the conversation.”
