The annual four-day intellectual festival, FreedomFest, July 8–11, is preparing to welcome more than 2,000 independent minds at Caesars Forum in Las Vegas.

Breaking away from the standard conference model, this year’s dynamic cultural event features an expansive lineup of more than 250 speakers across economics, technology, health, philosophy, and the arts. Attendees can customize their experience in six specialized pavilions, participating in more than 200 breakout sessions, Oxford-style debates, interactive workshops, and a bustling exhibit hall showcasing 150+ organizations and startups.

A central highlight of the 2026 gathering is the grand celebration of America’s Semiquincentennial.

To mark the nation’s 250th birthday, the festival has curated exclusive historical programming, including a live, unabridged reading of the Declaration of Independence by actor Dean Cain, immersive storytelling from Glenn Beck, and a mobile museum featuring original founding-era artifacts via the PragerU Freedom Truck.

Blending intellectual discourse with cultural expression, the event will also feature the Anthem Arts Festival, independent film screenings, an Independence Ball, and a variety of networking mixers designed to foster deep community connections.
