The Vision Behind the Forum
The Sun Valley Policy Forum is a working forum dedicated to advancing the principles of a free society by bringing together the people and ideas shaping America’s future.
At the center of the Forum are executive leaders— CEOs, philanthropists, and leaders across business, finance, medicine, manufacturing, and technology who form the backbone of American industry and communities—alongside the nation’s most influential thinkers and the next generation of emerging leaders.
LOCATED IN SUN VALLEY, IDAHO
We the People…
Convene. Connect. Amplify.
SVPF convenes civic and executive leaders, thought leaders, and emerging leaders to grapple with consequential ideas, deepen their understanding of the principles of a free society, and fortify their beliefs so they are prepared to engage in conversations of consequence to ensure fortification of the fundamental underpinnings of the principles of a free society and the core values of Western Civilization.
​
We bring civic leaders into direct conversation with the greatest minds and most consequential thinkers, providing scholars with a trusted platform and sounding board to optimize their message, amplify their work, and extend their influence in the American conversation.
​
We connect emerging leaders with the people, principles, and ideas that will prepare them to carry that conversation forward.
