The Conference of World Affairs in Boulder is a one-of-a-kind event that draws people from all over the world to engage in lively and thought-provoking discussions on a wide range of topics. This year, it was a bit shorter than the usual four or five days and focussed on climate change, but the essential ingredients of this unique event were still there.
It sounds amazing on so many levels, and I can understand its appeal to globalists such as yourself. The concept of "free and open to the public," is a rarity in the conference world! Not being limited to academics, I would imagine, means that some of the ideas being pursued might have more "real world" applicability. Thank you for sharing your experiences!
I loved listening to the live streams and catching up with other events after the fact. Right now the videos are still on the regular CWA Boulder website.
I can imagine what a great opportunity this is to meet people and to exchange ideas and have interesting discussions. The passion that some panelists showed for their fields of exertise of just the passion for the world and its people was something that really stayed with me. It might be me, but I felt that the female panelists where more passionate than their male counterparts and the same goes for members of minorities. Either way, great panels. I made some new connections thanks to this event too.
Happy travels and I look forward to your stories, pictures, Alextnotes etc.
It doesn’t sound at all anymore. The listening possibility was such a good feature and I used it and now it disappeared !! Oh magician make it possible again ! Alex, you can also insist to be heard again, that feature is very practical.
Otherwise, I agree with you on the CWA conference this year being cool, efficient and interestingly varied. Thanks for your contributions.
Very much informed after your three presentations live-streamed. I, too, liked the last one the best. Maybe better because one of the panel became unavailable so that interaction between you and Elizabeth Shackleford was very informative. Love the livestream format; felt like being there listening to you in person which will never happen otherwise. Your perspectives on climate action mitigating damages done interesting. Appreciate both the unlikely with despair but hope infused in both your responses. Without hope, we have little reason to try and we must to salvage a future for “our” grandchildren speaking generically. I’ll be interested to hear one summary statement NOW as to our potential for climbing over the tipping points in the immediate future ie before 2030; and another after your trip along the Colorado River. Enjoy your trip, it will be eye opening I expect. 😊💦☔️🌊🔥🌎

Sounds wonderful and worth investigating for next year.
