by Angelica Walker-WerthAnnouncementsSep 17, 2021

Want to network and have fun with lovers of liberty? Join us for Freer Future Fest, in Nashville, TN on October 9, hosted by our friends at Students For Liberty.

Speakers include Craig Biddle, Gloria Alvarez, Terry Kibbe, Matt Kibbe, Hannah Cox, Bryan Caplan, Alex Nowrasteh, and Antonella Marty.

In addition to the main stage events, several organizations will have “issue tents,” promoting various liberty-related ideas. OSI’s tent will provide materials on Objectivism and related ideas for living fully and advancing liberty. We’ll also host events in the OSI tent. These include:

  • “Government as a Necessary Good” (Craig Biddle and Jon Hersey)
  • “Freedom and Innovation: What’s the Connection?” (Angelica Werth and guests)
  • “Frederick Douglass: Role Model for Freedom Fighters” (Robert Begley)

Other tents will be dedicated to topics such as free speech (Foundation for Individual Rights in Education), school choice (EdChoice), privacy issues (People United for Privacy), and the culture wars (Students For Liberty). In the evening, there will be live music, dancing, and networking with some of the brightest, most productive individuals in the liberty movement.

So join us for “a festival experience engineered to educate, energize, and inspire liberty-minded students, activists, and influencers across North America around a vision of a freer future!”
