The
Manhattan Institute has been an important force in shaping American political
culture. By supporting and publicizing research on our era's most challenging
public policy issues: taxes, welfare, crime, the legal system, urban life,
race, education, and many other topics, we have won new respect for market-oriented
policies and helped make reform a reality.
The
Manhattan Institute regularly hosts forums in New York City and Washington,
DC for policy makers, business people, researchers and journalists. The
following is a listing of recent Manhattan Institute conferences and luncheons.
Select events are transcribed or video taped and those are available to
the general public here on the website.
Individuals
who support the Institute at the Benefactor level or above receive invitations
to most of these events. If you have been thinking about joining the Manhattan
Institute or increasing your membership support but are not yet convinced,
we would be happy to invite you to be a guest at one of our upcoming events.
We're confident that our talent and scope will impress you. To learn more,
please contact Jaclyn Kiely, Development Associate, at (212) 599-7000, or
via email at jkiely@manhattan-institute.org.
