The University of Chicago is famous as a bastion of free market economics and the classical liberal tradition. What better place to join with your fellow liberty-minded students to discuss the philosophy of liberty and how it applies in our current environment.

We will feature expert speakers on a wide range of topics including the foundations of liberty, the value of entrepreneurship, strategies and tactics for advancing liberty, and communication of liberty in the 21st century.

The Western Conference will feature:

* Great Speakers
