Join TOS and OSI in Colorado for TOS-Con 2022!

by Craig BiddleAnnouncementsOct 22, 2021

I invite you to join OSI and hundreds of other life-loving people in Colorado, June 22–25, for TOS-Con 2022: Philosophy for Freedom and Flourishing.

The conference will be held at the Westin Westminster Hotel, just 15 minutes from both Denver and Boulder.

Register now to save 20% to 50%! (Early-bird pricing ends January 29.)

Scholarships are available to students and young adults aged 18–29. Details here.

Also, join us for more awesomeness after the conference in Ouray, CO—the inspiration for “Galt’s Gulch” in Ayn Rand’s Atlas Shrugged. The OSI team will be in The Gulch from June 27 to July 5 (with a special celebration on July 4), in part for a company retreat, and in part to vacation with you in one of the most sublime places in the world. Details about this option will be announced soon. Sign up for updates.

Mark your calendar. Take advantage of the steeply discounted early-bird pricing. And be sure to let your friends know about the most life-enhancing conference of the year!

Level up with OSI. It’s time to thrive.
