The conference on everything conceivable
Conference On World Affairs
Why locals love it
For 67 years the University of Colorado at Boulder has drawn about 100 of the world's leading experts in the fields of art, media, science, diplomacy, technology, environment, spirituality, politics, business, medicine, human rights and more to it's campus to address nearly 80,000 attendees of 200 events spread over 5 days in early April.
Why you should visit it
Due to the nearly comprehensive sweep of knowledge presented, renowned film critic Roger Ebert (who participated in the conference for four decades) famously described the CWA as "the conference on everything conceivable". What's more, although many speakers typically command substantial fees, attending this event is entirely free of charge.
