Aspen is a place for leaders to lift their sights above the possessions which possess them. To confront their own nature as human beings, to regain control over their own humanity by becoming more self-aware, more self-correcting, and hence more self-fulfilling.

Hosts

With its unsurpassed rich and creative programming, Aspen Ideas: Health is not your ordinary health conference. Our global community of over 1,000 attendees – including healthcare and public health practitioners, researchers, business leaders, policymakers, advocates, artists, and journalists – gathers each summer on the Aspen Institute’s awe-inspiring Rocky Mountain campus to elevate and accelerate bold approaches to better health for all.

From June 22-25, 2025, Aspen Ideas: Health will open the Aspen Ideas Festival for the 12th year. The three day event will be designed around six thought-provoking themes, including Decoding the Brain, Audacious Science, Investing in Health, Food for Thought, Uncommon Allies, and Pop Health. The one-of-a-kind learning experience includes over 60 interviews, panel discussions, live podcast recordings, and book talks with visionary leaders – as well as morning yoga, nature hikes, and cultural offerings that celebrate the unparalleled setting. Join us!
