This year, in place of our single event tickets, we have a new offering—the Special Series Pavilion Pass! You can join us in the Sun Valley Pavilion for a series of three afternoon Pavilion Talks each day on July 20 & 21 ($150 per day) and for one very special talk on July 19 ($50). Speakers will be announced alongside our schedule and program in May and passes will be on sale June 2 directly from this page. Stay tuned for more information by subscribing to our email newsletter!
