 Welcome!
Dear Reader:
I am pleased to announce the
2004 Objectivist Summer Conference highlighted by lectures by
Dr. Harry Binswanger, Dr. John Ridpath, Peter Schwartz and Mary
Ann Sures. This year’s conference will offer fifteen
general-session lectures, twenty-one unique optional courses and
workshops, and two evening panels during the two-week event.
 The
venue is Wintergreen Resort, located in the beautiful Blue Ridge
mountains of Virginia, approximately 35 miles southwest of
Charlottesville. The resort offers lodge and condominium
accommodations, four restaurants, shopping, thirty miles of
marked hiking paths, two championship golf courses, tennis,
swimming, horseback riding, and a spa and fitness center. In
addition, a music festival, entitled Mozart in the Mountains,
will be held at Wintergreen at the same time as the conference.
A very special event this year
will be a tour of Monticello, home to Thomas Jefferson, author
of the Declaration of Independence. Preceded by a wine and
appetizer reception on the grounds of the estate, our private
tour of the home will include rooms not shown to the general
public.
 Come
spend one or two weeks in an environment of intellectual
stimulation in the beautiful Blue Ridge mountains of Virginia.
Attended by people from around the world who share your values,
the conference is sure to provide you a memorable vacation. So
make your plans now to attend in July, to catch up with old
friends, make new ones and meet the extraordinary faculty of
this special event.
