We’re excited to unveil the speaker lineup for the 78th Conference on World Affairs—an extraordinary group of thinkers, leaders, creators and changemakers from around the world. 

Curated by dedicated committees spanning art, business, human condition, international affairs, politics and media, and science and technology, this year’s lineup brings bold ideas, diverse perspectives and timely conversations that challenge assumptions, spark curiosity and inspire action. From global issues shaping our future to personal stories of leadership, resolve and making a difference, these speakers are at the heart of what makes CWA so special.

Explore this year’s speakers and start planning for conversations and networking opportunities you won’t want to miss. Pre-register to attend.

The Conference on World Affairs returns to CU Boulder April 13–16 and is proud to host the kickoff of the university’s 150th anniversary celebration.
