National Review Institute’s Ideas Summit is a biennial conference that brings together leading public intellectuals, conservative leaders and policymakers, and philanthropists to discuss the state of conservatism and the American experiment.
The 2025 Ideas Summit will be a momentous celebration of William F. Buckley Jr., the founder and architect of the conservative movement, kicking off a year of events to commemorate his 100th birthday. Our two-day program will focus on the inspirational aspects of his legacy, with a look forward to ensuring that our movement remains vibrant and moored to the principles Buckley championed during his lifetime—and the disposition that made him so effective.
Principled Leadership | Civil Debate | Economic Freedom | Anti-Communism | Defense of the West | Traditional Culture and Faith
Our speakers will share Buckley’s story, in appealing and compelling ways, to both inspire a new generation of conservative leaders and remind others of his life and mission to protect our national moral character, traditions, and role in the world.
Join us for a once-in-a-lifetime event that will be both nostalgic and inspirational. We look forward to celebrating William F. Buckley Jr.’s life and legacy with you!
