ABOUT THE ATLAS SOCIETY
The Atlas Society has been promoting Open Objectivism for the past 25 years. Their website (http://www.atlassociety.org) describes the concept of Open Objectivism as:
“Objectivism is not a religion with teachings defined by a sacred text like the Bible or Qur’an. Our loyalty is not to Rand’s words but to the truth of her fundamental insights. A commitment to truth and respect for independent thought must lead onward to new questions, new answers. Our scholars have produced insights in Objectivist philosophy, from the virtue of benevolence to the nature of knowledge, and more needs to be done.”
The annual “Atlas Summit” is just one of the many ways the Atlas Society works to engage the public with the ideas of Ayn Rand.

We run an open-mind conference where anyone interested in Ayn Rand's work and ideas is welcome. Our only rule is civility and our only basic standard is rationality.
I'm happy to answer any question here in the Gulch.
(I'm the conference director.)
I had an idea about seeing if I could get Gulch support for a scholarship or two. What is the cost for bringing a student to the conference?
Basically, students can register online for free but then they must:
1) Download and complete an application form (see the link above).
2) Score 19 or better on our Basic Understanding of Objectivism Quiz (see the link above again.)
We promise an answer in a week once we get the applications. Applications before May 11 have the best chance of success.
I know there are some site members within a few hours drive of Nashua.
Combined with the discount code, and that's around a 40% savings on the regular registration fee.
Don't miss all the excitement of the Atlas Summit.
Atlas Summit is late June.
About the best time of year to do it.
June is the month where New England puts on its happy face and tries to make you forget the winters past, and convince you that the upcoming ones will be mild.
Trees will have leafed out, flowers in bloom. Temps in the mid 70s to low 80s normally, could go a little warmer depending on weather fronts. Sunny or partly cloudy most days. Cooling at night down to the 60s.
In other words, one of the most physically comfortable times of the year to gather outdoors. At the Atlas Summit welcoming cookout for instance.
Thur - Cloudy, high-77, low-61
Fri - Partly sunny, high-82, low-54
Sat - Partly sunny/T-showers, high-79, low-57
Sun - Partly Sunny/T-showers, high-82, low 66
Subject to change of course, it is New England after all.
See you there.
