Our Events

From one-hour webinars to three-day private gatherings, we gather diverse cross-sections of leaders to identify and solve the most pressing financial challenges facing U.S. households.

Elevating and Energizing Leaders

Events are the cornerstone of Aspen FSP’s work. Through our convenings, we create networks of leaders across sectors and disciplines and encourage them to imagine how we can make our economy work for everyone. Together, we tackle big questions, dive deep into the details, and emerge with creative solutions.

Gathering Leaders

Private Convenings

We aim to host convenings of consequence. Across dozens of private events each year, we bring together leading thinkers and doers to expand their perspectives and inspire action.

Flagship Forums

Our flagship forums are designed to tackle some of the thorniest issues across our priority areas. Each year, these gatherings bring together dozens of leaders in a retreat-style environment that facilitates creative thinking and cross-sector collaboration. The result: actionable solutions that bring us closer to our goal of building widespread financial security.

Roundtables

Throughout the year, Aspen FSP convenes ad-hoc roundtables to tackle pressing or emerging topics in the financial security space. Their insights shape our research, policy recommendations, and more.

Cohort Gatherings

Aspen FSP regularly convenes several issue-specific cohorts and advisory groups. While unique in their focus, each group fosters mutual learning and works to surface tangible next steps.

I joined the Aspen Institute’s Leadership Forum on Inclusive Finance. The conversation centered on […] how we can ensure more people have access to the mainstream financial products and services that make our economy work.

It was a great discussion with incredibly experienced and committed leaders.
