The experience of the last four years – from lockdowns and closure to vaccine mandates and mass surveillance – blew open a once-hidden machinery of control at all levels of society, nationally and globally. This goliath has invaded medicine, tech, media, large corporations, and, above all else, government at all levels. The devastation for liberty and rights, even the future of civilization, has been nothing short of traumatic for the whole of humanity.

Brownstone Institute was founded to come to terms with this awesome shift from freedom to tyranny, through research, publishing, events, and fellowships to many intellectual dissidents, with a focus on leading a philosophical resistance against the “great reset.”

Brownstone Institute’s third annual conference and gala, held at one of the most iconic hotels built at the end of the Gilded Age, brings together scientists, medical professionals, economists, attorneys, intrepid journalists, and knowledgeable activists who want to restore the free and humane social order that respects dignity, freedom, and truth.

You can join with these powerful thinkers to share knowledge and expertise, discover hidden histories, learn about the many industrial complexes that have gained so much power, and find ways around and through this crisis.

Featured in the program are many of the most effective thought leaders in the last four years, the people who refused to be canceled and have a record of speaking truth to power. Even as so many institutions of the past failed to step up during the crisis of our lives, these people were the light who have shown the way back to fundamental principles of enlightenment values.

You will leave feeling part of a grand and global movement – energized, knowledgeable, and ready to lead the way back to sanity and freedom. You will find colleagues for your own work in your community and build trusted friendships to depend on for the difficult years to come. These are truly times in which you can make the difference. This event shows the why and the way.

The event begins on Friday morning and ends with a gala white/black-tie dinner on Saturday night. It is held in one of America’s most distinguished and glorious hotels, the Omni William Penn in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Designed by renowned architects Benno Janssen, and Franklin Abbott, the hotel was the last building venture of Henry Clay Frick, opening in 1916 to rival the greatest properties in Europe. It remains the “Grand Dame” of the city and will take you back to a time of beauty and idealism. It is, today, as majestic as the day it opened.
