The Atlas Society will hold its annual celebration of open Objectivism, the Atlas Summit, over three and a half days June 19-22, 2014, in the comfortable and classy Manchester Country Club, in Bedford, NH. Our preferred hotel for the Atlas Summit 2014 is the Holiday Inn Express and Suites, Manchester, NH. Free shuttle service will be provided for attendees staying at the Holiday Inn and Suites.

The theme for 2014 is "Who is John Galt?" With Atlas Shrugged Part III due for release in 2014, we are asking: who is changing the world? Who is really making a difference? What is needed for a cultural renaissance to take off? Ayn Rand's ideas identify the cultural basis for positive change!

Registration includes all sessions June 19 through mid-day June 22. Thursday, June 19 will focus on Objectivist education courses aimed primarily at students (though all registrants may attend). The main program kicks off with a welcoming dinner on Thursday, June 19. Main sessions will run Friday June 20 through lunch on Sunday, June 22. Students should plan to arrive on June 18. Most other participants can plan to arrive June 19. And all can plan to depart in the afternoon of Sunday, June 22.

Unless otherwise indicated, Atlas Summit registration includes all dinners and lunches during the conference period. (If you stay at the Holiday Inn Express and Suites, breakfast will be provided there as part of your hotel package.)

Commuter attendees may opt out of the meals if they so chose and register at a corresponding discount. Some meals, particularly the dinners on Friday and Saturday and the lunch on Sunday, are expected to include program content. Commuter attendees may attend these sessions, but will need to purchase the meal individually at additional cost or will have to make other arrangements for food. We expect to individual meal rates available at a later date.

All are welcome at the Atlas Summit's convivial "common room" get-together each evening at the Holiday Inn Express and Suites.

It's just the beginning of an exciting long weekend of ideas and inspiration.
