On the 20th year of the Aspen Ideas Festival, you will hear the conversations that matter from people who inspire. We’re thrilled to give you a first look at the extraordinary speakers who will be joining us this June:

  • Academy Award winning actor, producer, author, and activist Jane Fonda will speak about earning hope through climate action.

  • Bill Maher, host of Real Time with Bill Maher, will share his iconoclastic views on all things politics and pop culture and discuss his just-released book, What This Comedian Said Will Shock You.

  • Columnist, podcast host, and author of Burn Book Kara Swisher will give us the unvarnished truth about what she has seen from her front-row seat reporting for 30 years on tech's most powerful players.

  • Journalist Katie Couric will interview game changers and culture shapers.

  • Bill Browder, Head of the Global Magnitsky Justice Campaign and bestselling author of Red Notice and Freezing Order, will give us his insider thoughts on Putin’s war chest and next moves.

  • Writer Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, author of Americanah and We Should All Be Feminists, will talk about life, literature, and the power of storytelling.

  • Eddie S. Glaude Jr., James S. McDonnell Distinguished University Professor at Princeton University, will weigh in during a discussion about the flashpoints of the 2024 election.
